Talking Seat Value?

I happen to be the proud owner of the 1984 GSL with the chocolate brown leather. VERY rare to find on, and the only time I have is when the seats were installed in a friends RX7. I want to sell them to get some Corbeau Forza's. I know that they are worth a shitload, since they are very rare and especially the passenger seat, it's 98% like new....the person I bought the car from never had passengers, and rarely do I...so it's mint, nice leather seat...dark brown. The drivers seat is pretty ripped up. But if someone wants the good passenger seat I'd throw in the drivers for the price it costs to ship it so they could reapolster it if they liked. I'm thinking $200.00 for the mint passenger seat, I've seen one go on Ebay for $350.00. REPLIES ACCEPTED...NON-OPINIONATED...ONLY FACTUAL WITH A GOOD REASON.

Red and Grey will fetch higher than the Brown, just looks at the cars, the cream and brown (although they are the rarest) always fetch less, over the other colors.
I had an 84 GSL mint with the brown Leather, nice seats, but sadly brown is not a popular color.

I'll be getting 2 racing seats, but sadly someone beat you to the seats,

and they were mint, not a rip, bend, tear, crease or discoloring.

I have a Corbeau Forza in my car - If you have any questions about install or whatever let me know.

BTW, I think passenger seats in good condition are quite common, it's the driver seats that are rare.

I bought 2 red leather seats that where in very good condition. The passenger seat was almost mint and the drivers only had one small wear spot (NOT a tear) on the bolseter. I payed $90 for both of them.

I think it would be fun to organize a "SWAP" with Japan and Aus. give them our passenger seats, and they can send thiers over here. then we have mint seats all around, hehe
