new monza shadow and tyre - whats it worth?

[mkviken]

Aren't they like £500 a wheel from the dealer? With a brand new tyre you've got to be looking at £450 at least??

yeah i would have thought about £400-£450 with the new tyre fitted to be honest.


theres a genuine but refurbed wheel on ebay going for £325

theres a lot of old style 18" monzas for sale but shadows are harder to come by and most wheels require a refurb.

I would say put them on ebay at 99p with NO reserve. As the bids go up and the reserve is still not met, it puts people off bidding. People much prefer to bid on something they think they stand a chance of winning. Not only are they having to out guess other bidders, they're having to out guess the seller too when there is a high reserve.

The fail safe is to get a mate to set up a snipe bid with seconds to go to make sure he wins them if the price is too low, then tell ebay that the sale didn't go through. That way you won't incur any commission fees.

I'd stick it on E-bay as a "Buy it Now" for around £400 with a "Make Offer" option.

With them both being brand new (& presumably balanced and ready to fit) I think you'd get around £350-£400 if you're patient.

Alternatively you could split them and sell separately ... it's surprising how much brand new tyres go for on E-bay. 

These Glendales were a different size, and it's not clear what they finally sold for, but they were asking over £500 per corner :-

Wait a month or two till the superior GTI driver skills with summer tires slides into a curb due to bad weather......

Good evening folks, I am new to the GTI brigade having just bought a new Candy White one less than a week ago! I took one already in stock and with no extras so I'm trying to track down a set of Monza shadows. Mkviken if you could email me maybe we might be able to come to an arrangement, even though you live on the other side of the world to me, so to speak.
