Is it better to sell Milo Baughman chairs with original upholstery?

I purchased an amazing set of 6 Milo Baughman chrome and white leather classic dining chairs on my local craigslist for a great deal. I plan on reselling them, but I am not sure if they are more valuable with the original leather upholstery (it's in fairly good condition - probably better once I clean them up a bit - but not perfect), or would I get more $ for them if I reupholster it in a black or cream velvet (or something of the like). Any advice, design addicts?

Ripping them apart without a buyer lined up (contract signed, money down) is putting the cart before the horse- if a new cover is to be selected, the buyer should select it
you'd have to raise the price of each chair at least $250 just to break even, I think
