Sorry, You don't understand. It's not the cost of shipping, it's the time invested on the Junkyards part that isn't worth the effort. Unless you are in the middle of Missouri, and happen to drop by, it's not worth their time to do anything with a cracked up body part. More than once I've had a junkyard to refuse to ship body parts that were damaged, because of the large risk on a minuscule sale.
Think of it from their end:
They have to spend 10 minutes on the phone with you, send you a dozen pictures, answer a dozen questions. They need to remove the bumper, they need to source a box large enough to ship it in. Package it, insure it, Ship it. They certainly are NOT going to take it to Greyhound for the low buck shipping cost. Then they have a larger risk with a already damaged part that you will not like it when you see it, and demand your money back..
Even if you pay the $150 of shipping cost, what would be a reasonable charge for all their efforts? $50? $100? They wouldn't feel right charging that kind of money for an unusable part, and you probably don't want to pay $200 or more out of pocket for a project. piece...
Ultimately they have been down this road before, and it rarely plays out to the advantage of anyone.

Price of these is WAY too high. The condition of these seats is far below mint. I would say fair to good at best. There is a lot of wrinkling on the leather and there seems to be a stain on the passenger seat.
Someone just sold a set of 4 recaro sets for $1900 and they were in mint condition compared to these. Gonna need a lot of GLWS for this one.

And $1900 was probably a bit cheap, as I had multiple people trying to buy them at the same time.
Thread can be closed. Thanks for the feedback.

Additionally you are basing your opinions good and bad off of mere photographs. If you had seen these seats in person, you would have a different opinion. The super closeup of the leather in this thread was taken while the seats were at the junkyard. The seats were dusty at that time over amplifying the leather creases. Once I got the seats, properly cleaned them, and conditioned the leather, the seats looked really really good again.
Please contribute positively, or if you have been slighted, post your grievance specifically.
