What price should I be asking for a 2014 RT Limited Seat & Backrest?

[SteveandBelinda]

I have a seat & backrest, and the passenger backrest off my 2014 RT, in a box. Perfect condition. Replaced with an Ultimate seat back in 2018 or 2019. I need to sell, but not sure what I can get out it. There is a cycle shop in Florida that has one for sale that looks like it came out of a junk yard, and they are asking $649, and it doesn’t even have a backrest.

Sad to say, that while your seat may be in pristine condition and shipping charges are what they are, they make your seat nearly worthless. I ended up with two sets of Super Chocks (don't ask how that happened), but to ship them to a buyer cost as much as the chocks cost new. So, don't be surprised by the price of shipping. Hope you can sell locally.

It's true, seats in particular are quite hard to sell because of the freight costs to get them anywhere (you would be gob-smacked at what it costs to get one to or from Oz, so it takes a very kind vendor to get any sort of a deal over here!) Still, you could always try a 'Best Offer - you pay the freight' Ad, maybe here in the 'For Sale by Owner' sub-forum, &/or possibly anywhere else. But if you do post an Ad here, please read and follow the directions in the 'READ FIRST!...' Sticky at the top of that section.

FWIW, when I bought my Spyder in 2014, I purchased the Comfort Seat because of the extra leg room it afforded. A good friend had a '15/'16 RT limited, don't remember which, that he had purchased an Ultimate seat for but did not like and wanted to try a Russell Day Long. He sold the Ultimate and I gave him the stock seat from my bike so he could send the pan to Russell. Unfortunately, for some physiological reason the Day Long didn't work either (numbness in lower legs) he got out of the Spyder game.
