Ok guys, some of you may have read, I don't take kindly to being ripped off, and I certainly don't want to rip anyone elsle off, but I need a few opinions...
I sold some black leather front seats out of a 93 SC to a guy that posted a want ad for some sets at tccoa, and we did the deal through email alone.
Anyways, I sent him a link to several pictures, with closeups of the major imperfections (tears and such) and told him they were in decent condition, not perfect, and something along the lines of they are in good enough shape that I aint going to throw them away. I believe the seats were just as I represented them.
In fact this is the text of what I said about the seats in an email:
Here is the weird part, I shipped these seats to him halfway through June somewhere around the 17 I believe it was, and TODAY he emails me with a complaint, and seems to want some money back.
He says the seats are dried out too badly and the leather is "flaking off", but when they left here, there was certainly no leather flaking off. A couple of weeks before I took the seats out, I used some mcquires leather stuff on them, and they seemed to clean up very well, and still looked pretty dang good when I boxed them up.
He also said the driver seat would not move bac or forwards, but they moved my damn near 300 lbs a$$ just fine. I know because a previous prospective buyer had me put them back in and test the functionality, which was how I discoved the tilt issue.
I am curious if he put some kind of cleaner or something on the seat that mistkenly dried them out futher... I know for damn sure there was no leather flaking off when I sent them...
I asked him for some pics, so if I get them, I will post them for some more opinions....
I went back through our email correspondance, and can't see anywhere where I thought I could have been misleading, or mistaken about the condition.
I asked him if he could send me the email where I misrepresented the seats, and he said he no longer had the emails, but did have hard copies, and could fax them.
I know it sucks to get some parts or something off the internet, and they be very badly misrepresented, and I would hate to do this to someone esle, but I just don't think in this case, I have misrepresented anyting.
If he had emailed me the first week or so, maybe I could understand. But it seems like he got a month and a half down the road, and decided he was disappointed???
If I went back and looked at the emails and thoguht maybe I was misleading, I would go ahead and give him some money back...
He sent $195, which was $100 for the seats, and $95 for shipping. I think this was a fair deal, they were a PITA to box up and ship
Lets see if he can get some pics, and I'll see what ya'll think.
As of right now, I aint gonna feel guilty not sedning him anymore funds... unless he can find somewhere in our correspondance that I was misleading or mistaken...
Do ya'll think it was misleadig to condition the seats prior to taking the pics? I cleaned pretty much everything I sold... I think that would be pretty standard...
Well enough for now.... lets see what info he can give.... I'll send him a link to this post and see if he cares to respond or post some pics here...
Thanks guys!

Hey guy, I have a pair of front tbird seats in decent shape here in Huntsville. AL
They are in decent shape altogether, but have what I believe to be easily repair imperfections.
The worst part would be the passenger side left bolster is hanging off, but that is due to the plastic attaching strip on the back, easily fixed.
Not the best but I don’t know if there are any SC seats in existence that are still in really good shape!
Both are the power seats with all the button, all buttons work but front tilt, but all positions can be obtained through the raise/lower button and the rear tilt….
I’m not looking to make a killing on these, and they are in good enough shape that I aint going to throw them away….
So if interested, make an offer, not sure how much shipping would be from Huntsville, AL; I wonder if greyhound would ship these???
Here are pics of the seats:
