Most black seats I've seen change hands on here for 1500-1800 if they're in really nice shape.

I changed the price on CL for $900 and see if there are any bites.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey guys,
I just pulled out my stock seats and replaced with aftermarket Sick Speed seats and don't see going back. They are in good condition, no tears, etc... What should I list them for $$ as I have no idea what the market is. Non-powered, plain 'ol 996 seats. I was thinking $600 on CL??
Those aren�t �plain old seats�. They are sport seat option. I�d maybe double your asking? They look in great shape.
next better seat than those are euro Gt3 buckets. Why the heck you replacing them?😎
Are they really non-powered? Look similar to mine and mine have motors in them for at least 1 function.
I bet the OP replaced them due to weight. Man, my seats are heavy!
Well, they are black seats. They are not heated, not powered and quite honestly not that comfortable to me, lol. I replaced them with these and they are better fitting to me. I changed the price on CL for $900 and see if there are any bites.
I guess you are correct, they are powered, just not to tilt the back. Hah, I never played with them I guess once I fitted myself to them 3 years ago, lol
and yes, they are heavy suckers!
A couple grand? Eh... maybe. I paid $2400 for 997 hardback sport seats with the backs painted body color. I think $1200 on the high end if you actually want to sell them and not sit on them (pun intended...)
Thanks for your input. I'll go with $900 and see if they move quick. Then it's on to the next project. I really want to do an aero kit next and then be done with visual projects for now
Most black seats I've seen change hands on here for 1500-1800 if they're in really nice shape. If they're crested/heated/more power options then they can be pricier, but 1200-1500 for nice enough black seats would be my range. I'd list for 1500 and see what you get.

They are Sick Speed branded seats
GAIJIN V1 LEATHER DIAMOND STITCH RECLINING SEATS – Sickspeed
I was looking at the Braums but the green stitching hooked me.......
You can see more of them in my car on my profile album if you want.
Oh, and Planted seat mounts for them. They seem to be strong and built near me in Seattle
I sold a set of real nice black hardback sport seats on a the 996 facebook group for $1,600 and the buyer arranged shipping to Texas. He had the backs painted to match his 996.
I love 'em. I am not used to the harness yet, but the seats are comfy and keep me in place better than stock so I am happy. The feel of the 'synthetic' leather is nice.

FWIW - The new seats look awesome - green stitching really ties the interior together. If they're more comfortable than the stock seats more power to 'em.!
Thanks again!
I am seriously considering painting the backs speed yellow. The stockers have served me well for countless track days and 166k miles. Time to give that side bolster a rest.
Oh yeah Jyoteen, you have to paint the seatbacks speed yellow or I want my seats back!!!!!!! That is a must when you have a yellow car. There has to be a rule on this somewhere!
I have sat it a set of the sport seats, and found them a bit uncomfortable too. Not as much lateral support As I would like either. I get your reasoning.
I went all in with the euro Gt3 buckets. Once you�re in them, you�re really connected to the car. Your new seats appear to do the same, so that�s what really matters....😎
The seats are great. I don't slide around at all. The pleather seems to hold me from sliding at all. I am surprisingly happy with the purchase of them for sure!!!
I wrapped the park brake handle with paracord. 10' doesn't do it, you need a little longer cord. Ask me how I know, lol. I bought a bunch of different 'greens' in 10' lengths off Amazon and they are too short and really light duty, lol. I finally found this stuff that was much more stout. No glue, just tight wrapping to see what it would look like. I wrapped it like I do with eyes on a fishing rod. Yes, I build fly rods too
It is holding surprisingly well. I wasn't sure how it would look, but it's growing on me. I've also thought about wrapping the handle with bicycle handlebar tap in matching green too, but will stick with the paracord for now.
