Guessing they meant $25.00. At any rate, I will be putting about 20 wheels on in Feb. Gauranteed they won't start at $2500 and I won't make you pay for shipping an old dried out tire. Rod

I've been on greedBay since 1999 and have seen prices steadily climbing
since then. For the past 2 or 3 years what people want money wise for their stuff has really jumped. I still say some of the reason is because of bogus TV shows:mad:. Like Pickers that artificially inflate the value of items. People watch the show and than think that their "junK" is priceless.
Just my 2 cents and we all know how much 2 cents is worth now........:p

"you tell me what they are for"

Hey! Those are getting hard to find....
I just sold one like that for twice that amount.....

He has some optimistically priced other odd-ball wheels listed as well.

There's no shortage of fools and their money.

I was amazed, watching the B-J Auction for all of ten minutes, when some idiot bought a junk 1950 F-1 pickup ( had some mechanical updates, body rusted looked like hell) and paid $44,000 with the buyer's premium. The much hyped and venerated 'Barn Find' B.S.

Not long after that some stupid paid over $70K for a pure piece of crap 1967 Dodge Dart that looked as bad as the F-1, BUT it was being sold by the fools on Gas Monkey Garage Richard and the bearded clown sidekick. Their 'restorations' are a pure joke.

I have a turd, very rare, highly collectable, kind of looks like Karl Malden, hell, I'll even throw in a certificate of authenticity.
I wonder if he'll take a trade...yep, I've been smok'n too.

Some guys over there are selling under several names, and are driving prices higher and higher. Look up antique headlight lenses. Nothing gives a site a more legitimate look than ''several'' sellers offering similar items at a consistent price. EBay is being killed by this practice. People will quit even looking when the prices reach a certain level, whether it's diapers or donuts. Look up almost anything (product) online, several search engines or differently- named sites pop up...most all eBay snares.

I offered him $1 for it yesterday but he declined my offer! Can't say I didn't try!!

Rowdy 01-28-2016 02:59 PM

Re: What are they smoking over on eBay!? LOL
 

Then again some buyers are so cheap with offers I havw had to srart using the autodecline setting to not waste time having to decline stupidly low offers. Rod

Do you Canadians get the ebay "import charges"?

These don't seem to correspond to any of our taxes. Seem to be an ebay tax. Maybe ebay is now its own country.

This seller is a wee bit more down to earth.

Oh yes, we also get to pay double shipping thanks to the "Global shipping program" where the seller sends it to ebay, then they ship to us! About the only thing I buy off of ebay are koren iphone cables at 99cents free shipping ;)

re: eBay Auction / Buy it Now for $2,500

"old steel spoked rim ford model a vintage 1930-1931 model a yard art"


You infidels are all missing the point . . .

The key to the answer to that pricing is with the last two words

"yard art"
