Turbo Saddle Take Off...

I got my hands on this Turbo saddle the other day and really have no use for it. What is it worth? It is in very good shape (iust shadows on the top in second pic)...

What’s the date stamp?
Looks like a later non-leather covered version.

Yes, I think this is the "Vegan" version of the re-issued Turbo saddle with the Lycra covering (instead of leather).
They don't go for that much money these days as they are widely available new and used.
Selle Italia actually lessened the value on Turbo saddles because they re-issued it a few years ago and proceeded to produce thousands if them from factories in China to the point the market was flooded with the product and they were selling for peanuts on the internet.
There are still some Turbo saddles that can sell for good money, like the perforated cover versions of the saddle and in very hard to find colors, like yellow, but condition is always most important.
