His price may have started high--
But I'd not sell for less than 1,000. (if they were mine) $200 a wheel/tire- is crazy good! Good tire shop to mount and balance (tire rack installer) will charge 200 just to mount /balance.
Come on guys he's at 69 miles!

The price you are asking for the 5 is fair;it seems they are ganging up on you to get you to knock the price down,like sharks circling...Let them price out new tires,rims,TPMs,mount & balance as you said. What's fair is fair,give it up,guys

I don't see it as ganging up. With just some homework, you'll see that you can get a set like that for a bit less. Nothing wrong with the price if someone is willing to pay it though. In my book, $1500 (OBO) for those wheels and tires with 69 miles on them is a good deal. However, for just a few more miles (less than 5k), I just got a whole set for $800.

Not trying to gang up, I was trying to suggest that he lower the starting cost to give himself a better chance of selling them. I've looked for these sets many times, so I'm quite familiar with what they have been selling for.
As for helping sell an item, people will glance right past an item that has a high asking price (even with OBO), so by placing a more realisting asking price, say $1000 OBO, will likely get more looks and interest. The number is what people focus on, not the OBO as that appears after the vast majority of online used sales, just look at Craigslist.

Although someone going in to Discount Tire would never get rims/ these tires for such a low price its about supply and demand. On this board and even with craigslist your region and the number of Jeepers is going to play a big role in price. Here, everyone wants to lift. So, you are rarely going to find folks that are going to jump at stock wheels/tires for anything more than a ridiculously low price.
Good luck to seller. But also take the advice if your serious about selling. The OBO will always be overlooked in this forum.
