How much is this rack worth?
Someone wants to trade me for a rear and middle seat out of 1969 bus, would that be a fair trade?

middle seats are pretty ridiculously sought after sometimes.

Multiple beat up, raggedy-ass middle seats from $400-$700 (not even mentioning a rear seat too)

Not many full length racks available right now, one is for $500.

Don't get screwed dude!

From your wording, I am unsure if you are in possesion of the seats or the rack.

No, no trade!!!!

The rack is worth maybe $300. The seats are worth more like $500. I've seen a middle seat recently sell for $300 alone.

More than $500? Maybe, if you can find a buyer.

If you need the rack and dont need the seats, that seems like a fair deal.

A lot of folks hang on to stuff because they think its made of gold. This takes parts out of circulation for all but big money buyers.

It's a hobby, not an investment.

$100 per mounting point=$600
To the person who needs the storage space, on the right day, right season. Shocked
And the buyer won't lose any money on it.
