bone yard seats ?

i was at the yard a few days ago and a bird had just got in and it had a mint black interior, but it was tucked away in the corner so it wasn't really noticable, i was wonderin if it was worth paying the $40 for the seats ? they are black cloth, do you think it would be worth my time to get them and try and sell them again, or trade them and mine towards a pair of 4th gen leathers ?

black interior is generally in high demand. I got ahold of a set of black plastics recently from a junkyard but it isn't all mint condition. The thing with reselling them is that shipping costs more than the part itself and really prohibits much profit unless they are in amazingly good condition. With something as large and difficult to ship as that, I don't think it'd be worth it. just give a heads up as to where the yard is located to help out fellow board members.

The cheapest quote I got so far for a good set of seats was $150 for the set. The cheapest quote I got ever was $60 for the whole set, but they needed re-foamed and recovered.
