To understand the market better, the vdub tuning and diy camper scene is mainly based in UK, so the seat prices are not overly inflated elsewhere in the EU. Those that put them up for sale in ebay.co.uk know this, and therefore know to ask more. And for the LHD drivers seat, every single van that's left the factory has one, as the LHD single passenger seats are more rare. If you look for a left hand side seat from nordic countries, we have those for sale 350-450euros, around £400. That price is inline with other manufacturers seat prices bought second hand, maybe even slightly higher. The right hand side seats, those are rare to find, and sought-after. I would say if you find a deal for around £400, its not a bargain for the rest of us with non-inflated prices, and you should take advantage of it. I admit, I paid around £900 for a uk drivers seat, but it had the same upholstery as my new van will, it had armrests, height, tilt, lumbar, seat heating and that price included the shipping. Also it was from a delivery mileage van, with 149 miles on it. So next to new. Dealer quoted me more than twice that to retrofit, so it was a no-brainer for me. I was checking some passenger seats from Finland at the time, but they are, you know, used. The price was around £500-550 for those, and they are more expensive as the left hand side seats here.
