Default Sport Seats

so i've got a set of sport seats out of my 944 and i'm trying to figure out what to do with them.

obviously selling em would be best, only no one wants them

other thing i was thinking, making seats out of them for an xbox 360/ps3 wheel and pedal set. i thought it'd be cool to have genuine porsche seats to race in. having 2 of them i figure make one for myself and sell the other off.

just looking for thoughts, or if anyone wants to buy em.

Price, condition, photos, location?

Surprised no one wants them, they are a desirable upgrade.

Yeah no kidding, I'd love a set of sport seats.

Gaming chairs feels like a waste...

Maybe there is a miscommunication on what exactly sport seats are?

I would like a set "that no one wants", as well!

I've noticed prices asked for our seats are all over the place. If the seats are in undamaged or recovered condition they do sell for $400/pr and $600/pr for the sports version. If they have damage/cracks/splits they sell for about half that price.

You can get good quality German Vinyl recovering kits for $350/pr in any color or leather for $550/pr.

Also noticed a lot of people won't ship seats, local pick-up only. Greyhound is a good cheap option and will ship nationwide much cheaper than FedEx or UPS. You do have to drop off and pick-up from a Greyhound depot but there is normally one close to most US cities.

Point being: price them right for condition and offer shipping and they will sell.
