What's wrong with them? Can you post some pictures that show their 'far worse condition'?

Agreed - can you describe the condition? I'm in the Northeast...

Will post additional pictures tonight. Some of the leather is dried out, some damage that is likely from water. Seats have very low miles on them but were apparently stored improperly.

Pickup only, as mentioned above, cash + carry.

Basically most of the leather is just dried out overall the point that it's stiff.

Then there is an area (shown in picture) where there is some sort of water or liquid damage it looks like and then another smaller area that isn't as bad.

I wonder if you could dye the areas with water damage/discoloration? I might just start with some black shoe polish first.

won't that get on your clothes? Maybe a leather shop can restore them.

If no one bites, I'll likely try leatherique rejuvenator (already ordered it) and then possibly have centers reupholstered.
