Seems legit and 8 bids going for over $700.
It may be wrong to just assume seats are stolen but when they are going for under

$400+shipping for 2 seats it seems to me like its stolen for seats worth 9k brand new.

 

it does us no good. We can't prove anything.


When my seats get stolen I'll buy it back.

 

I don't think it's fair to say a seat is "stolen" just because of the price.

 

Yeah, I don't see how its possible to judge if seats are stolen based on its selling price.

 

I work for an insurance company. I'll say it once and I'll say it again.... having your seats stolen is NOT a major deal. You can sign off on whatever cash settlement amount you want. Our stock seats are worth SO much that some people let their cars get totaled. That

 

I had my seats ripped off and am pretty sure I saw them up on ebay a few times from the same guy in Port Orchard, WA. I contacted him to come out and take a look at them and at first he agreed, but then he backed out because I think he figured out what was going on.

I only had liability on my car because I lost my job in this economy, and so now I have to pay out of pocket for new seats. There's no way in hell I'm going to buy another pair of OEM seats: they'll just get ripped off again, maybe from the same person I just bought them from! Instead I'm just getting a pair of generic ebay racing seats :/ There are some decent-looking Cobra Misano replicas... sigh. I feel like such a loser :/

 

I'd ask them to produce a picture of the car as they pulled the seats out.

 

or vin and ownership to prove their aren't stolen.

 

seats gets stolen, so the stolened can buy the seats

 

Best thing is to brand the vin into the back of the seat...physically cut out numbers for the vin into the back of the leather...who cares if it doesn't look nice as no one really looks back there any ways. I know on my seats the vin is there and cannot be removed even thought they are not leather. I don't care less if they are stolen, I would just want to make it hard for the person to sell once they are stolen.
