I have the eames plycraft leather chair and ottoman. They are in very good condition. Needs minor restoration work but in very good shape. How much are they going for these days?

This image is not my chair but looks identical.

I very much like the Eames...
I very much like the Eames Plycraft chairs as a solution for those who want a vintage Eames inspired lounger but cannot afford 5000 for a real herman miller, and do not want to pay overpriced for some contemporary imitation.
Unfortunately, I've never come across a Plycraft Eames in the UK.

Clearly there's a motivated buyer in the UK.
Take it there. Maybe consign it at Sculpture Mart.

I've had good luck
I've had good luck selling a few of these on Craigslist - mostly to people like LitUp who want the vintage without the pricetag.
They are also great chairs on their own - definitely better than the current Chinese knock-offs. I owned one for years while I was saving up for the Eames.
Also - you probably don't see many in the UK because Plycraft was a small scale US company. I thought Selig had imported some from Europe to the states, but I might be mistaken.

A couple of friends have had the 'Eames style' recliners.
