Hey, I didn't know these were leather seats in my bus. And they're so valuable! Who knew? Sadly I only had 3 or those valuable brown "leather" seats (let's call them pleather). 36 seats at $2500 is $69 each.

My search continues because I'm looking for Naugahide seats. How many Naugas have to die to outfit one bus with a full set of seats?

Bus seats are really expensive to buy! But mostly because the market for them doesn't actually exist. It's nearly impossible to sell yours, and its nearly impossible to buy replacements.

Many have sold bus seats. Think Shabby Chic.

Only $68k

Holy hell! That's a steal at only 68k, that's arguably the best diesel motor ever made and is worth the asking price on its own!

I was wondering how he came up with a starting price of $68111.

What is the $111 for?
