Same here. It does seem a little odd that the same set apparently fetched close to £1295 on eBay and is now for sale at less than £895. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141213345710
Either:
- The £1295 was a genuine bid but the sale never completed. If this was simply a 'non paying bidder' then wouldn't the seller want to try and achieve a similar price? Or the bidder went to collect and the wheels were found out to be not as described hence the seller lowering the price accordingly.
- Or the seller was using dummy account(s) to inflate the winning bid. But then, why inflate the price to £1295 and then only ask for £895 2nd time round?
This seller also seems to sell lots of wheels/tyres so wouldn't he have a good idea of true market value for these? Which again just begs the question - why so cheap?
It may just be that he has had them hanging around for a while and after having a couple of sales fall through, now just want a quick sale.
No risk no reward though - could be a bargain, could be a bum deal. You'll have to pay the chap a visit and have a good look (even then its impossible to tell the true condition until you get them on a wheel balancer).
If they are still around after payday I may have to go and have a mooch myself
