I am assuming they are heated because I see the switches on the center console. They also appear to be in relatively good condition with no rips or tears. Your seats may be slightly more valuable to someone who wants heated seats or is attempting to upgrade a neglected interior. I agree with Stl-986 that shipping cost will hurt demand. Here are some suggestions that may help overcome that barrier.
1. When I made my initial seat upgrade to heated seats I bought a set that the seller shipped by Greyhound and I remember the cost was surprisingly low. You may want to see what they charge today.
2. You can also disassemble the seat and remove the bottom cushions from the bases. Shipping only the bottom and back without the base will reduce the size of the package and the weight which will save shipping cost. The buyer would install the back and bottom on the base from the existing seat. This would appeal to a buyer with torn or discolored leather that is headed for the trash.
3. Agree to meet the buyer somewhere between your location and the buyers. E.g. agree to meet someone within 100 miles of Pittsburgh.
Good luck with your sale. When I attempt to sell something I removed from my Boxster as part of an upgrade, the phrase “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure,” runs through my mind.
