Default Used C3 interior

I have this used C3 interior that I removed and don’t know what it’s worth. The seat covers and foam appear in tact but driver side cover is torn at a couple of seams. I was able remove the dash in one piece, it has some cracks along the top near windshield.

Is there a market for this stuff? Obviously not perfect but just checking before tossing in the trash.

There might be some interest depending on condition, what it is from and how much you have including screws, etc..

The repo stuff does not always fit as well as the original so thats a plus.

Take lots of photos, say what it was removed from and post on ebay, no reserve, 10 day auction, and a starting price of $99.

The market will tell you what it is worth if you provide plenty of photos and information.

I will guess you will be surprised at what it is worth, IMHO!

I can say I've gotten zero bites on my (mostly) complete 79 Oyster interior (T-Top inserts, cloth seat cushions, and cloth door panels). The trick is, it wasn't good enough for my car, so why should I expect it to be good enough for anyone else's? The eBay suggestion is a good one. Otherwise, it may all end up in the trash. I'd probably keep the door panels if I go that route.

It might be worth something to someone. For example, I'm looking for a bottom seat cushion in dark blue to replace or repair a tear in 2TONE82. It doesn't matter if it's driver or passenger side as they are interchangeable. However, I'm not going to pay a crazy amount for it because it's low on my priority list...I've been looking for several years now. You'll never know until you post it up!
