Default Uses for the almost new seats from my 2009 Cayman?

After gutting the interior I find myself with 2 as good as new non-powered seats from my 2009 Cayman.
I am not sure if there is a resale market for them, but if there is, I could use the $$.
If not, what might I use them for? I recall that Recaro sold office chairs that were based on their sports seats. I wonder if I could create a base for them.
Of course, where would I use the seat?
Serious (and not so serious) suggestions welcomed.
Thanks in advance

I've made a number of office chairs out of old Porsche seats...

There is a market for Cayman seats that also fit Boxsters, 996 and 997 vehicles. After I bought GT3 seats for my Cayman, I sold the stock seats on Ebay for $1K.

Rick, don't you have two crates and a spot on your front porch needing a couch?

Im trying to actually make a mount so I can fit one of my sport seats for iRacing. Kind of heavy, but shouldn't be too hard... I think

Right next to the rusting refrigerator on the porch in Maine!

Heh, even my beat-up 944 seat sold for close to $200.

Surely someone's looking for a non-powered seat.

That would be great; not like I couldn't use the $$.
Let's see - new car, new wheels, new tires, coaching, graphics, jewelry for Joanie (just kidding on the last).
