I'd like to get a new and more comfortable seat, like so many of you, but I'd also like to eventually sell the too-hard-for-me- but-perfectly-good-for-somebody Corbin seat that was on the used '05 when I bought it. I called Russell up in Northern California and they have to have a seat pan to work with, which I don't want to use the Corbin for. So here's the question:

What's a good price (fair to both) for a stock pair of '05 seats? I know I have to shell out pretty good bucks to Russell to get the new one, so I don't want to pay too much, but another forum member has one and doesn't have a good sense of what it's worth, and of course wants to get what he can. So have you sold or bought one, and what did you pay? So your input is appreciated.

I sold one to somebody here fer fifty bucks.... Damn if I remember who though. :blink: Think it was one'a the "cheeze heads"

Yeah, I'm a nice guy really.

:jester:

 
I'm getting a vibe of about 200 to 250 difference between the 2 if thats what your looking at.. 150 at the low end.

 
Not to complicate things, but what style corbin is it? Canyon? Does it have blue piping?

I am in the market for a new seat. Maybe we can do some type of trade?

I have an 05 w/ 14k on it. (shameful I know).

Is the Sargent spoken for? I'd be interested in it if it's not...
