no we didnt im new to this forum

 

Welcome aboard Rob, i think what Nomad was trying to say is maybe you should read the thread before posting but it's no biggie

Nice ride BTW, 5 speed?

 

thank you and no its automatic but eventually im gunna put a 5speed in it

 

Im not sorry I quoted a fair price.
He asked what they are worth and I told him.

Sorry if you were trying to buy them for less, but I am not going to let someone convince him they are worth less then they are.

Those wheels with tires on them are worth $400. $450 if they are 10x15 on the back.
And more if they had better tires or slicks.

The wheels are $99 New from summit with a $13 dollar shipping fee. The tires are worth about $25 each, then another $10 for mount an balance.

He will sell them fast for $300. If I needed another set I would by them.

I thought we were in this forum to help other camaro owners. We are not here to screw the noobs so we can save a buck. If you interested in them shut up and give him a fair price.

 

Your point is valid about helping each other, we do have a common interest.
However....try going to a swap meet with a good buddy of yours, and wait until he finds something he's interested in being sold by a Camaro guy. When he asks how much, butt in and say
"that part is worth at least...$xx". After all, you don't want to see that fellow Camaro guy get screwed do you. Then see who gets a swift kick in the nuts.
Nobody was trying to screw anybody, just possibly get a good deal. With used parts normally selling at an avearge of half as new, $300 is fair (not 400-450) considering the tires are so-so.

 

Your not at a swap meet and your friend didn't ask how much to buy the wheels.
In this situation your friend ask you how much the wheels were worth and you gave him a low ball because you wanted them. How long until your friend finds out what they were worth and you loose a friend.

This post was not in the classified.
No one asked to buy them.
Are friend asked what they were worth.

 

Yes we are, a virtual one. And go back from the beginning and read it all over again.

 

He simple asked what they were worth, I gave him a simple answer.
Sorry, but we are not going to agree on this.

If he had said "I want to sell these will you give me $50"
I wouldn't have said a word. He didn't he asked what they are worth.
I don't want to see him list them on Craigslist for $50 when they are worth more.

If the swap meet guy called me before telling your friend what he wanted for the wheels I would have told him the truth. Then again if your friend called me after being quoted a price I would have told him the truth.

I am in this forum to get truthful answers and to give truthful answers.

If you want to screw someone do it in a PM. I like you and I am sorry we feel differently but I am going to be truthful and I will not help anyone take advantage of anyone else. I gave him a fair value.

And the wheels will bring close to $200 at a recycling center.

 

First of all, I already said nobody was trying to screw anybody. I'd appreciate it if you stop implying that. The simple fact is those aren't worth $400 to anybody, unless someone wants them just as they are. More times than not, having tires on wheels is a detriment since I would have to also pay to have them dismounted to put my own tires on the wheels. And in a way, he was putting "feelers" for a buyer out here whether you or he realizes it or not. It's a moot point by now with me, since it's a local sale in Cali. (info we weren't privileged to before).
Heh, heh...wise guy: https://camaroforums.com/forum/showt...d=1#post432935

 

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that you were going to screw him. That was unfair.
Also if we all new you were local I probably wouldn't have said anything. Area can greatly change the price.

I agree that having tires is not always good to all sellers. However it will always help them sell. A kid or pawn shop will pay more for any wheel with tires. I buy and sell a decent amount of wheels.

I will not jump in and quote a price if it looks like there is a sell going on. Sorry if I stepped on your toes. Hope your not to upset with me. But I stand by my feelings that he asked a group he trusted to tell him what they were worth. If he said the same thing in front of a car club or a group of friends, I hope a few of them would give him an honest answer.
