How much $ are you guys finding GM 14bolt FF axles for in your area? I read on the net how they should be $100 and growing on trees. Around here every yard wants $500 - $1500. The best I have found on local CL is $300 for an old axle buried in mud.

Depends on the junkyard. If its a recycler you will pay more, pick a part less.
I see them from time to time advertised in classifieds/craigslist for $100-200 give or take.

yep, you really shouldnt really pay more than $150. I occasionally see people giving them away too.
The one I am using was $75.00
the one I gave away was free
I can pick up one from the junkyard for $100 all day long
You can also buy a whole 80's 3/4 ton pickup for less than a grand easily and get the rear axle out of it.
You looking for one in particular?

Local yard I always used to go to was $75 for any axle. (believe me I was waiting for a front 60 but never saw one) I see them on some of the boards for $150.
Good bet is if they pull it, you're going to get bent over. If it's a u-pull yard, prices are a lot more reasonable.
If you see one in the paper/on craigslist, I'd offer them $100.

FWIW- Two friends of mine just picked up a couple in good shape for ~$100 ea. at one of the local Pull-A-Part's...

Thanks for all the replies. Looks like I will need to hunt a bit further from home. Everything in the DC Metro area is overpriced, including used parts.

Full floating and Semifloating..
The FF 14 bolt is the beast that everyone talks about.
my local u-pull yard is $150 per axle too. Pretty good deal when they got a wrecked locked 80 in.

I bought a trailer made from a Chev with a 14 bolt last weekend because it had a Alaskan camper on it. $200 for the works. I'm going to put the camper on my pickup and sell the trailer for what I paid in a few weeks. Its a bit of a drive from your place though.

Free what?????? Free Millermatic 200 or free 14 bolt?
I had a beautiful 14b that I sold for $150...
Been along time since I thought GM sh@# 
The "mini" 14 is a very strong axle and since it has the same bolt pattern as the Toyota 6 on ?.? it is a great up grade axle for modded rigs on the cheap. Semi float 9.34?" ring gear?
The FF 14 is in terms of strength I think is over the D60, but closer to and possibly = to D70. Full floater 10.5" ??? Ring gear? Last time I checked....a dime a dozen, cheap and plentyfull
The killer part about the FF 14 is a Detroit locker is
forgot!
I forgot but what ever it is it costs substantially less to Detroit a FF 14 than any other axle I know. IIRC because it doesn't use a case...IIRC the spool is cheap and supper strong, 4 shafts???(krap forgot) to...
(the joke of the FF 14 is that you need a caster wheel on the pumpkin cuz is so low....)

I can buy them all day long for $32.50, but they arent worth my time to pull because its so hard to get any money back out of them when you sell them.
The only 14bFF i would pay more for is one out of a CUCV, factory 4.56 gears and a factory detroit locker. I paid $700 for my matched pair of M1028 CUCV axles, which included the front 4.56 D60 with factory trac-lock.

Plenty of them down here in richmond at CAP. $100. Just a pain to pull unless someone has already taken the rear springs. I have around $500 in mine with disc, detroit and HD cover...so you can find deals on everything...just gott akeep you eyes peeled
