Overpriced same as most things for any RS. But if someone is willing to pay that price then fair play.
Mine never had the mats when I bought it but they are just mats and most people don't even have them fitted in the car anyway there normally stored away to (keep good). It's a set of fucking mats.

Am pretty sure they only ever made enough mats for each car and no extra so he must have pinched them out a new car.

Not at all, they sold didnt they

Price = supply x demand

Dont whinge because its too rich for your taste, understand the market

If you had a few sets to sell you wouldnt let em go for £40 a piece if you could get £320 would you

I perfectly understand if someone is willing to pay over £300 for two mats that's up to them and I'm not wingeing over it just stating that rs parts in general are stupidly priced and part of the reason I'm selling mine as im fed up with people trying to extort
Money out of me for parts.
And it's a stupid question to ask me if I had a set of mats would I sell them for £40 or £320 of course I would take as much as I could get for them. But I would still be of the opinion that the person that paid that amount of money for a set of mats was a twat as its a set of mats.

Hi Guys!

I am the one who bough the RS Mat! Received the mat yesterday, brilliant condition never been used! A lot of money I know but id be surprised if you could find one in this condition- been looking for a while.

I bought the mat for my dad as he is a massive RS fan lol! He bought his RS in September last year after waiting 10 years for one!

29,000 miles- year 2003.

Welcome to PassionFord Becca, you're a very generous daughter, I hope your dad appreciated the mat.
I have a pair of immaculate front mats so I'm pleased that they are becoming more valuable, I have put them in my loft and when I come to sell the car the mats will stay with me and be sold separately if the new owner tries to knock me down on the price of the car too much.
