so long stock supra seats...

My stock supra seats have been collecting dust ever since i upgraded to Recaro SRD seats last year. i took the supra seats with me when i moved to mira mesa and they have been sitting in the loft area of the house since. i didn't intend to sell them till now. i was just recently laid off and decided it was time for them to go. i wondered how much i can get for them?

My friend suggested that $400 would be a good price. If he had the money right now he would get them. His budget is really tight because of a recent layoff. He recommend that I post them on ClubLexus. A lot of the SC owners are looking to upgrade there power tan seats to supra seats for weight savings and color.

I started a thread on the SC 300 section of ClubLexus. There were a couple people that were interested. One person from Washington state and another people from the San Francisco area. The Washington person wanted me to get a quote on packaging and shipping. It seemed like a lot of working getting a box, packaging and weighing it. The other guy from San Francisco said he would be willing to drive down. However, he wanted me to lower the price. I was pretty firm on my price.

I also posted the seats on Craigslist. Craigslist is amazing when looking for stuff new or used. I've sold and purchased things on there and the community seems legit. It's way better than going on eBay. I received 3 or 4 responses to the seats but finally found a personal locally who was serious. I responded to all his inquires immediately through email. Anthony (local buyer) asked me to hold the seats for him till the first week of February. He came by a few days ago to check out the seats and liked what he saw. He texted me this morning and decided to pick them up.

It was unbelievable that he was stuffed both seats into his SC. The driver seat was placed in the back seat and he stuffed the passenger seat in his truck... Simply Amazing. You can't do that with my supra.
