Color I think is the big factor, if they are red or blue think more ppl will want them.

Yeah, but black (at least the dark part of raven upholstery) turns blue over time with sunlight exposure.  Whadya going to do...?

The seats have value to someone, particularly the fronts, if in good shape.

Yes, without the gangsta lean. I need a new seat because mine leans bad.

Good, i thought that was only my seat...unless i have them all the way down to the floor, im leaning hard toward the outside of the car...is it the tracks or the seat?

It's typically the welds in the seat bottom. Not the track. I have had one caused by a bolt sheared off in the recline mechanism too, but I think that was a fluke. I have also had one of the seat mounts bust through a rusty floor pan and cause a lean too. 85% of the time it's seat bottom welds that cause the lean though.

I put a pair of OMP TRS seats in my car.
And the seatrail is out of a Volvo 240. They have the exact same width. With some modifications to the mounting of the rail (taking the rear mounts and put them in front) they mounted perfectly to the original bolts.

Not much of pictures but here you go.
