Ill throw em on craigslist and see what happens. Think $200 is fair for both em? Not trying to get rich and dont wanna try to screw anyone either

problem is when it cracks around the seat it potentially leads to the seat falling out if left untreated.. depending on the crack severity and location, problem with a crack is it spreading while in service... no way of knowing till it goes boom!!
