    I stripped the inside of my original low mileage '31 Chevy (Rumble Seat Car) due to the upholstery being pretty nasty. I took the time to strip all the seats off the original brackets/springs and was wondering if these things are worth keeping or selling. They seem to be in very good shape with only a couple metal strips being broke. I will most likely go back with a custom made seat and rumble seat so was seeing if these are worth anything to keep around, they have less then 15k miles in them and the rumble seat brackets/springs look brand new

    I'd say that is something someone is hunting as most of them you see are pretty well destroyed. Post some high quality photos and good and exact description on Ebay and see if a bidding war starts?
    Watch your pm's to see if someone wants more info?

    If you put those on eBay and waited for a buyer that needs them, and were willing to ship them, I'm sure you could get $200 or $250 for them, plus shipping. If you have to sell them local and aren't willing to ship, lucky to get $50. Willingness to ship (and to wait for a buyer) is the key.

    Had a guy just now message me an offer of $300, so far $250-400 seems the norm based on here and Facebook/Instagram

    $300 on something you were considering not keeping around, sounds like a good deal for all involved.

    yes I was considering not keeping them but definitely wasn't going to throw them away. I have found that everything will sell to the right person and as much swap meets that I sell that I would have thrown a price on them and hoped for the best. But I was surprised that they go for that much I was thinking around $100 or so

    If you thought $100 and were offered $300, I'll give you $100 for them if you will give me the guy's name that is willing to pay $300. I can be there in less than 4 hours!
