I just replaced all my seatbelts, which leads me to a related question.  What do people do with their old seatbelts?  Should I try to sell them?

Seatbelt material degrades over time, so I'd doubt that original equipment belts have much value any more.

 

Have a look at the last section of http://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2001/aair/aair200104604.aspx.  Manufacturer's date stamped on the pilot's harness was 1973, and when the belt was tested after an accident in 2001, it failed at less than 20 percent of the original rated strength.  They surmise that UV exposure, abrasion and contamination contributed to the degradation of the belt.  Scary .. I think that my 1970 M20C still has the original belts!
