Default Stock seats question

Hey all,
What do you think a stock set of black leather Corvette seats in good condition with all the power accessories (which are working) and rails would sell for?
No bolster holes and not much wear (told about 50-60k on them)

Also, what do you think they would sell for without the rails?

$500.00 if I really needed them. $250.00 if I just wanted them for a rainy day back-up. Now if they were mod red!!!!!!.......

Sport or Standard? IF there sport seats I'd say if the seat skins are in good shape $600 asking price would be fair. If my memory serves me correct that's about what I've seen other sets in good condition for. If the skins need replaced then id say more along the $300 range.

what designates sport and standard?

So basically what i gathering from the two posts is that if they are just a worn set..... about 250-300 and if they are a good set 500-600?

and is that each or for the pair?

i am not sure if I want to buy new seats or not so i wanted to find out the price range

These are sport seats:



They have an opening above the Corvette script and have power lumbar supports.

The standard seat does not have the opening above the script.

I bought these today off the classifieds for $650.00 to my door. Of course they are not sport seats but were exactly what I have been looking for. I am one of a minority of people who find the FRC/Z06 seats to be very comfortable for everday driving. Came out of a 22k mile Z06.



They are going in here,
