Identify and value - Early 911 seat?

It's a passenger side 69-71 non sport seat.

I sold a pair like that , ie.,similar condition for $2500 on EBay. I think singles command a little less but you can use that as a reference.

I have an offer at $375

Based on brisboats sale, that would put me at $800-$1000 for a single. Seems high, but I really have no idea on these.

Not trying to get rich, just want to make a fair deal for both parties so that buyer is happy and I can reinvest in my 964........it's a long want-to-do list on the 964

I think 800-1000 would be a good deal. I see guys asking 375 for the headrest alone.

I would think $800-1000 sounds fair in todays market.
$375 is when the cars were half the price they are now and is out of touch with what has happened to these cars.

I recently bought a pair in similar condition for $800 with sliders and headrests. They were bought off this site. I bought another pair of '72s a year or so ago off this site for $1200 so I think you are realistically looking at $400 for the seat. You can ask $800-$1000 but in my experience you won't get too many buyers but you only need one. GLWTS

1) Unrealistically high because the guy is trying to squeeze every penny
2) Very low because seller isn't aware of market increases and part sells in a day
3) The right price which sells to to the guy who wants to pay fair market for a good item.

Fortunately there are buyers for all three levels above.

1) The guy that has to have it now because the sky is falling and willing and able to pay exorbitant prices.
2) The guy that checks Pelican 25 times a day to snap up great deals
3)The average Joe that has a need and is fine paying fair market instead of patiently waiting for the deals

I however digress........ Thanks for the info guys.

I'll start it out at $800 and see where it goes from there. That price would help my suspension fund and I sold my 912 almost a year ago......so this is just collecting dust.

Problem is most folks want the pair and the drivers side of course wears harder. But $400? No way not now in the long hood frenzy. $800 is more than fair IMO and GLWS.

brisboats.......ad has been up for an hour and I already have another $500 offer. Offers are on the rise. We'll see what the week brings. I'll take best offer by weekend. Hopefully close to the $800 mark. That exceeds what I was expecting, but good for the 964 budget. Thanks for the input Sir.
