Am I ripping myself off?

[NZ]

I just want people's opnions on this,

I am selling my EL GT rims with tires on. theyre genuine will have centre caps and the tires are the dunlop's that the new xr6's use (235's)

I came up with a price of $1320 for the 4 rims and tires. (I will get to how i came to this in a min.

3 rims are perfect theyre only a few months old. One rim has 2 marks on it from where i hit a stray peice of wood recently. The rim isnt damaged but on the edge the paint has kinda been scuffed and it won't rub out. One mark is approx 10mm by 5mm and the other is barely noticible probably 2mm by 5mm.

The rear tires are about 70% tread. The front are worse however. The front left is badly worn on the outside edge and has nearly 100% on the inside edge. The other side has signs of feathering on the outside edge and the inside is the same as the left side. The front wear is courtosy of a dodgy wheel alignment courtosy of beaurepairs. :

The price of $1320 was as follows...

Rims new price was $1750 so I decided 1k for the rims taking into account the damage on the front rim.

Tires cost me $225 each. I put a value of 50% on the rears and $50 each on the fronts. So $220 and $100 rears and fronts.

I've had a few people comment on my price saying its cheap, and 3 people have said they would definitly buy them, and one of those offered 1600 to beat the competition. At the moment one of my friends who is a member on here has agreed to pay $1320.

The problem is I am beginning to wonder if it is too cheap, I don't want to rip myself off but I also don't want to rip someone else off. I'm not after a quick sale, I just think I have under estimated their value

obviously they will be much more sought after than the copies, and i think you got the rims hella cheap.
its really hard to say, but i think thats too cheap...

[Walkinshaw]

Very cheep Karl. I would be asking that for mine, which require 4 new tyres. If they sell for $1300, somone is getting a bargen. If people say, but copies are $1000 new, they have no idea. Put a genuine next to a copy and you will see the MASSIVE diffrences.

Just sell them on ebay or something. Or sell them as best offer.

[Racecraft]

maybe abit cheap but you can't really back out of a sale,, if you offered them at $1320 and someone has said they'll take them, the honorable thing is to stick to your word.. Bite your lip at missing on on a few hundred but you did the ethical thing... So many people these days just don't give a sh|t, the person purchasing them should be grateful they got a bargain from you. That is sorta 10 fold if the buyer is a mate of yours..

yeah i think they are abit too cheap u can get copies with tyres for abit more then that even though 1 has minor damage id prop the price up a tad

[ilsautomotive]

Yep, should be worth top dollar on Ebay.

This is true, I forgot the bit where you had an offer.

[Damo]

the real question is, why are you selling them ?

[NZ]

I want to sell them for a few reasons.

1, I was in geelong the other day. on a 4km trip from my friends place to autobarn i seen 3 cars with them. an ea, an eb and an el. too common
2, i want au offset wheels,
3, the elgt's won't match the colour i want to paint my car

[clampy]

yeah freight costs from one side of the country to the other suck

ah well

[efbeggza]

Very cheap IMO. Sounds like a good deal for someone.

[Damo]

haha yeah they're very common, though most people have copies. I took this at heathcote last year.

[AdzT3-146]

yeh they are quite common which can get annoying. i got the same problem with mine, although i wasnt exactly the first person to put AU rims on an e-series either lol. i want MKII BA GT-P rims.

on topic, i reckon cos they are geniune and not copies, you should ask $1500+

[Walkinshaw]

Fortunatly SA is nothing like vic. Im yet to find another E-series with Genuine GT's.

Good luck with the sale.

[alesia]

just think if this guy that is buying is your friend
you know they will go to someone that will respect them and treat them well
and you will also get to see them all the time ;)

[GRNKPR]

they are a nice rim and they will always be origanal if you are changing rim because too many of them are on cars how do you think the GT owners feel if the car looks good with them on leave it .whats it going to cst to put another set of rims on and if others like how long till they copy again

[pepsimax]

a little bit low in price but as has been said if an offer has been made then ethicly you have to stick with it,friend or no friend

[JADED6]

Seen people pay $2,000 with no tyres.
If they are the genuine 17x8.5's there wont be to many around.
Even $1,500 would be a bargain.
