No idea where to list them at so I'll start this thread here until I get an idea of a good asking price. So, what are these worth?

I'm in vicinity of Fort Bragg/Liberty, NC.

Driver's Seat:






Passenger Seat:
Note - I have rewelded and painted where one side of one of the brackets cracked... It did not split all the way through the metal before I had it rewelded. See last pic for more detail.

Black?

If they're really not worth significantly more than that, I'd throw them in storage under the house and swap them back in the car when I sell it so that I can keep the Corbeaus for something in the future.

I've been offered $400, so far. At this price, I'm 50/50 on selling vs. storing for future use. At 600+, I'll def sell. But, I'm not in a hurry. If someone offers $1k, I think Id be dumb not to accept. So, that's where my brain's at, for now.

Something looks really off on those to me. Either in desperate need of a extractor cleaning or someone attempted to re-dye those at some point.. Could be the pic quality but the tweed material is way to dark and blotchy in some areas. As for worth, I never paid more then $100 for stock seats but a lot do, I would clean them up if your trying to get more then $400, get the water stains out and see if the color evens out.

Really? If so, it was before my time with them in 2014. Best offer so far was $600. Who knows how serious?

After @Mustang5L5 passed, I sold them for $500... no further cleaning or touch up. That's a win for me. 1 guy offered more @600 but then flaked... dragged it out a day, too. On Sunday: "Ah... Can't talk now. I'll call tomorrow." Then, blew off my question yesterday when I could see he saw it. So, I just told him I was passing on his offer and took the next one. Apparently, they're going to be a father's day gift.
