Looks like maybe (for now) $1000 is the correct price?

for 1000 they will most likely stay in my garage.

 

[Ground Loop]

I was going to bid $1001 but overslept.
Yes, it's true, I would have sniped Chris for a set of wheels.

You should keep them, even if they cost $1400 at the dealer without the tires and with tires probably the cost will be over $2K

But the cost of SSR Competition wheels with A048 tires are a bit under $2,000. So the cost and the value differ in this case.

i agree. that's why i think 1400 is fair.

Steve,
Don't blame you a bit for holding on to the wheels. For me, I just decided I might as well just bite the bullet and pull my wheels and get them painted or perhaps buy a set of ssrs. As once my wheels are painted don't expect them to ever be off the car so don't really need the second set.

not very helpful in reserve price auctions though.

True if it does not hit reserve. Still helpful if it does.

I sell a lot on eBay and would rather nobody ever sniped, because early bids only drive up the price. As a buyer, I always snipe.

As a seller, I get a lot of bidders that were sniped and email me "hey, I would have paid more but that jerk bid with 10 seconds to go!."

Doesn't make sense, but often the mentality of the bidder is to bid close to the minimum bid and wait to see if they are outbid. Better to just bid your max and walk away... or snipe your max. Sniping gives you the best chance at paying the least.

Steve-would you sell them piecemeal? I'd pay $450 for a rear wheel/tire. I'd be good to have a spare, and I could take my cosmetically-damaged one off!

 

[offroadr35]

sorry, i have no idea what i'd then do with 3 wheels.

I believe there is another on here needing 1 wheel. Im sure you could eventually get rid of the others at a much better price then you have been offered for all of thm.

Guys i'm making my decision to sell or keep these things today. If you're interested let me know. I already have a couple people interested at 1000 (you're first Chris).

You might get the highest price (and hassle) if you sell the stuff individually. If you have tires flipped, a right front becomes a left front...

Steve,
Thanks for offering, unfortunately spent the bulk of my budget this month on getting the center console painted.

[offroadr35]

ok i've decided 1200 is my number.

If anyone wants them for that let me know, otherwise i am going to keep them.

 

[Surferjer]

If you still have this in Feb, I'll be interested at 1200. I spent all my extra cash for the next three months on

1) new exhaust
2) springs
3) SSRs
4) AO48s

I can only push it so far with my wife

 

[Ground Loop]

Feb, hah! Mine mine mine.. I'll take 'em.

Actually $1100 was going to be my eBay proxy bid, so this isn't that much of a stretch. Fair enough.

Since I don't plan on upgrading wheels, this looks like good insurance for repairing a flat or curb crack.. which should just about guarantee that neither ever happens!

Now I do have to explain why I'm buying four wheels for a car that I don't have and can't even point to on a map or calendar..

 

[offroadr35]

sold for 1200 to Ground Loop pending completion...

Looks like we've just set the market for these things.

Thanks guys,
Steve
