Chris, I agree that these are desirable and rare, especially in
excellent condition. That should all be reflected in the price so ask
whatever you think they are worth. I simply would ask that if you post a
specific item for sale as a standalone topic like you did, it is only
reasonable to give a price. Posts that are based explicitly on items for
sale should have location, shipping options, and price! Mentioning an
item for sale as part of some other thread is another matter.
If I was local I would come see them and perhaps buy them if they were
nearly perfect. I can buy Vanagon seats for less than you are asking but
it has been a long time since I saw any real nice ones of that exact
model, 87 Tan. One year only for that color and armrest style, last year
for that color period. The grey ones are dime a dozen in comparison.
