I am parting out some of my 71 GS and am not sure of a reasonable prices for my seats which have all been professionally reupholstered. I also have new door panels and mats. I was hoping someone could help me put a reasonable price on them as I have an interested party and need to include a price if I post them. The plastic around the seats and the headrests are original, at least to the best of my knowledge. I have attached photos. I think the upper section of the back seat can be seen in one of the photos with a bucket seat. I appreciate the help. I was thinking 150 for the mats 200 each for the door panels but the rear seats and bucket seats I really need help with.
I'm no expert so here goes: They look nice but its an uncommon color. How long ago were they done and were they used in a car? Figure what it cost you(parts and labor) and subtract 5% per year from when they were done. If used, take another 10% off. Was everything replaced? Foams, broken springs, etc? Painted? Take another 5% off per item for anything that was not in like new condition. This may seem high, but doing seats is not cheap! Maybe negotiate for a package deal? Also, door panels look new in plastic? I would not sell them for less than 75% of new. Mats, same way.
Hey Bill.... Thank you for sharing your knowledge.. so I called Legendary and got prices for all of the covers, panels etc, so I have an idea of the cost of the materials is. The panels are new and pretty much no one has sat in the rear or front passenger seat for more than a handful of times.Here's what I don't know: What would each bucket seat and rear seat be valued at, ball park, if in good condition but needing reupholstering. The seats were never painted nor plastic parts replaced. A few springs, the foam, the burlap, andcovers were replaced. Color is saddle. So, I am selling this interior as a package and want to be reasonable with the seller and myself. I need this information because, obviously I can't base the price solely on the cost of the materials. The prices for old beat up seats on eBay seem high.
Chuck, number 1, remember if someone orders upholstery today delivery is 8 to 9 months out. I would also sell as a package if it were mine. I would think whatever your materials cost is add $900 and discount from there for any issues. Remember opinions are like assholes everybody has one.
That's the problem - seats are going for crazy money. Repro seat frames are available and they are not cheap. Add in the tracks, backs, hardware etc and its quite the investment. I use ebay to set prices and I look at the "sold" ones only. Set a price you and the buyer feel good about. At least there is no shipping hassle. Others may have different thoughts!
