The plastic slides and bushing don't look that bad. Usually that are busted up and in pieces. The slides are impossible to find. You can find the bushing easier but sizing it can be difficult. I would replace the complete spyder slide. Look at Springfield Marine (a Bass Pro subsidiary in Springfield, MO). They make a lot of these.

I agree - those look quite nice, actually. If you're having issues with moving the seat, it might be due to another issue. I would just clean them up and put the seat back on. If you want, use some dry lube.
So I staged the pieces so that people could see the parts as a whole,the parts are completely broken up.

It's not going to be easy to find the chair slides. My experience was ordering parts and sending them back. Search won't bring up much. I think I found them from Springfiels and even then they weren't right - hacked them to make them work.
The bushing is easier but I had a few that were the wrong size and had to go back. Try West Marine or Amazon so returns are easier.
All I can say is good luck.
He tricked us! 
Cup's shouldn't be too hard to find - do you have a local marine store nearby? Or one you can mail it to? I don't mean a West Marine - I mean a real place
Otherwise, just check the specs on what you find online and compare - Google for something like boat pedestal bushing.
For the slides... I don't have an answer. I "think" someone on here discussed this somewhat recently and found an answer, though. Can't remember who - maybe try searching.
Slides... I wonder if a local vo-tech school can 3D print them for you?
