Rear seat value?

I have some 100% mint red leather rear seats that i'm considering selling. Not sure the value. Found some black ones for 500 bucks but apparently red is harder to come across.

Can post pics upon request

Red is more rare. Really it just depends on their shape and if everything is included.
I bought a set in 01 for $300 + shipping, but I've seen them go for over $700.

Shape is near perfect. The only imperfection is a little dimple where it looked like something had been putting pressure on them. But it's already coming out for the most part. Everything.. would that mean the panels, carpet thingy, and speakers?
I would probably be selling that too as long as I could find parts that could replace. (from a car w/o the seats)

Are the panels red too? At least in the US only 93 cars had the panels that matched the seats, 94+ had all black panels.

Get some pictures up, I'd love a set of rear seats in my current car, but I think you'll probably get more money than I could offer you

Lol, I actually had to go look but yes it's the red panels. It's a JDM car though, (i'm in canada).

I'll take a few pics tomorrow and put them up. I refuse to use flash.

value depends on what someone thinks they're worth to them. IMO they're a novelty because no one can really fit into them anyways.

I traded my beat up seats with the panels and missing seatbelts, for panels from bins and a few other interior plastics, probably around $300 in parts.

I would say mint red leather seats are pretty valuable. I'd consider paying $500 for them. Some people prefer them over black. I think the market prices them below the black seats though.

I considered buying a red rear seat to match the front seats and doorskins, but the space is much more usable without, I've relocated my battery and some other electrical to the area, and I love that I can only fit one additional person, someone in the back seat would be horrible.

I don't think you'll have a problem selling, but you'll want to trade with the buyer for some of their rear plastics. Another consideration is your center console, it might look funny with bins, the LHD divider goes back further then the RHD version. If you have an alternate plane to bins, then this won't be an issue.
