Default '70 Seat Frames

I have a chance to buy a pair of '70 seat frames.
They're in good usable condition. What should I expect to pay?
Thanks.

They want me to make an offer.
I want to be fair but also not pay too much.

Repro seat frames at Corvette America are $380 each, so maybe set your offer based on that (meaning offering them something less than the cost of "new" frames.)

I redid my '72 seats and all of the other little pieces (chrome, attachment hardware, etc.) sure add up quickly.

No, the only items included are the full set of frames, the seat adjusters and the springs.

I had a pair of red 72 driver-quality original seats with tracks. (70-71 tracks are shorter than 72-up tracks). I tried to get $300 for them here and received absolutely no interest. The tracks are worth as much/more than the frames. I wouldn’t pay much for them unless you need them. $125-150?
