For those who have some extra change sitting on your desk...and these seats can be yours!!

Richard8971 · 10-15-2008, 11:16 PM

Redone 6 months ago??? I don't think so... Thirteen hundred bucks is ALOT for those seats...

No thanks...

LeDevil · 10-15-2008, 11:40 PM

No way those look like they were done 6 years ago at best. I'm not normally one to knock someoen elses dreams but COME ON!

**70cst** · 10-15-2008, 11:52 PM

This post isn't meant to flame someones auction...but...I just can't see how these seats are worth this kind of money. But then again...maybe I'm out of touch.

lpaine · 10-15-2008, 11:53 PM

Yeah, he's dreaming alright. I don't see any bids on the seats,and I don't think anyones gonna bid at even half the price he wants.They seem like pretty decent seats though, I'd guess they would clean up pretty good.

Arad68 · 10-16-2008, 12:27 AM

Even now an old addage applies...There's a sucker born every minute...I think that what this auction is...

much better deal

**special-K** · 10-16-2008, 06:33 AM

My old addage applies:
If they`re worth that much to the seller he should keep them.
Maybe they`re worth so much because he has a picture of that bright green truck.Maybe that`s why the steering wheel he wrongly describes as beeing 67-69 is $300,too.Those seats aren`t worth any more than a seat needing all new covers.They`re not original.hey are seat you can put in your blue truck that will look pretty good.Is that worth $1,200?

rambler · 10-16-2008, 09:53 AM

I first thought, that maybe the wife told him to clean out the garage, so he priced it so it wouldn't sell, and could keep it..

Then I saw his other stuff????

doenst ebay charge to post ads? I've seen stuff like this before.. cars and such so high in price and no bids... how much do they pay? or can you cancel one and not pay a fee?

smn69 · 10-16-2008, 10:46 AM

You only pay a fee if it sells. He won't be paying anything any time soon.

fatboys69 · 10-16-2008, 12:04 PM

what's he smokin !!!!

*Shane* · 10-16-2008, 01:21 PM

crack is wack

bmrrwolfe · 10-16-2008, 01:26 PM

i think he has the wrong pictures up...
it says the color is black velvet...

Huskerboy2 · 10-16-2008, 01:33 PM

Wow, I have about $10,000 worth of seats laying around here. I had no idea.

Jtrux · 10-16-2008, 01:37 PM

They charge a LOT of fees...when your item doesnt sell, you are SOL, and Ebay laughs all the way to the bank. If you do a completed listings search on Ebay, you will find that 90% of our trucks and their associated rare option parts never sell because of some dreamers wishful thinking. Even if the economy was not in the toilet, those seats would not bring the money he is asking for them. In this case, HE is the sucker and Ebay is the benefactor.

Incorrect, you do pay a listing fee up front.

D'Animal · 10-16-2008, 02:18 PM

I didn't think the bucket seat brackets from 67 - 78 were interchangeable.

They are not.

**70cst** · 10-16-2008, 09:55 PM

Geeeeee...I thought one of you would be jumpin all over these seats.

Especially when they are located in "Beaver Meadows"

Down south truckin · 10-16-2008, 10:51 PM

Those seats are out of a 73-77ish blazer NOT 69-72 for anybody that may be interested in them. The seat frames will work but the brackets/ tracks are a couple inches taller than the 69-72s just FYI

boostin20 · 10-16-2008, 11:59 PM

OMFG! That price is insane! You could get a couple blazer seats from the junkyard, have new foam and two tone suede or fabric applied for around $500-600.

*paisaloco67* · 10-17-2008, 12:56 AM

I could actually get a whole blazer for what he is asking for the seats.
I would have a problem with the old lady of course, Im sure u all know what i mean......but then again I can always make up the, got it for cheap story
