The bag is pristine MINT condition.
As in the mounting straps on the back are still flat, never been wrapped around the sissybar, and they show no signs of ever having been laced.
Finding even a rough used one is very difficult. There is a very nice used one on ebay now, listed for $500, and they might just get that.

The seat is in great condition. Even the base is great with no cracks. Usually the base is cracked very badly.
There is a nice used one currently on ebay listed for $700. That's probably a tad high. Judging by the pictures, mine is nicer.

Sold that same seat (NOS) a couple years ago to somebody in Japan. Got almost 600$ for it... If I remember right, it has storage under the pad.
