    Corbin seat questions.

    So out of curiosity if I was to resell the old Corbin seat on my bike what would I be putting the price point at? I think in Canada they retail close to 700 - 1000$ brand new. Mine has the carbon fibre and back rest. It’s a tiny bit sun bleached but otherwise like new shape.
