    Help with seat identification / valuation please

    Reinstalled original non-sport seats and have no further need for these. Seats are marked "Keiper Recaro, DDM 990, 09949107" Local mechanic said they were "Chinese Recaros", which I interpret to mean a low-end, made in China model. I thought they were fine. Just noticably lower than stock, and I like the look of the originals better.

    Seats are identical (except for the obvious driver / passenger diffs) and in excellent condition. Did some poking around on the 'net, but could not find much useful beta. Not interested in sticking it to anyone, but don't want to give them away, either. Any and all opinions on what they are and what a fair price would be is much appreciated. Apologies in advance for the blurry script shot. "Turbo", in blue lettering.

    Keiper recaro's were actually US made. This model is similar to an LS, very comfortable.

    My hipshot for a sale price would be 500 for the pair due to bulk(limited market due to shipping/storage ect) even though they are worth more to the ideal buyer. Opinions?Steve

    Thank you Steve. Agreed about the hassle of shipping. Thanks for the starting point.

    Update with sale info for potential future reference: I let these go for $425 US to a conveniently local buyer. He and I have done business before and he's been fair with me, so I had no interest in squeezing top $$ from him. That was my asking price and he accepted, so they probably went slightly low. Thanks again to all who provided input.
