I sold my tires to a navy guy for 200 pay it foward

 

I'd be willing to up my offer to 700, but that's tops. cash and carry, just tell me where....

 

You guys are crazy. $1500 is too high, yes, but $700 and below is an insult and you cheap bastards know it! Sure we all want to grab a great deal, but about a grand is typically the going rate. Anything less for the mileage he has on these is just insulting. I call BS on the deals you guys are talking about. At least not in the same shape or low mileage.

 

$700 and below is not an insult as they can be found for that price if you shop around and have some time.

Regardless I think he should have started at $1000, which would be more likely to get a sale or at least an offer that did not seem so low. My $400 was not a real offer, I was just asking if he would actually take that if no one offered more as he was making the point that he had OBO after the price.

$700 is a good offer if no one is biting and he wants them gone. If he's not in a hurry, then I say hold out to see if he can get more, but I doubt anyone will offer more than $1000.

 

I want the wheels if not sold you said you had some one taking them.. Are they sold?

 

Z'ACTLY, getting 700 for tires/wheels you don’t want is a blessing. I still can't figure out why guys even think they should get retail Dealer replacement value for anything. I need folks with that mentality at my yard sales. I'm all for being real and have had my reality check. Just ask your Jeep dealer what they'd give you for them new Rubi take offs so that they can have on hand. My dealer quoted me a 100 per tire and wheel- that's before it leaves the lot!!!. They intern sell them for 700 to the next new buyer,+ they get to keep the original take-offs..so, If I wanted to pay big money for oem equipment, I'd throw my dealer the bone first.

 

That's a terrible analogy! With your argument, why not just ask your Jeep dealer what they'd give you for your jeep after driving it 100 miles. A LOT less that you paid for it. Point of story, any auto dealer won't give you a good deal on anything!

Now, what would you realistically pay for 5 tires and 5 wheels in premium shape for your Jeep? $1000? Nope. $1500, hardly. There is a going rate for Rubicons, and unless you get amazingly lucky, you won't typically find them that low.

Again, BS.

 

hahahahahahha.. i read his price and did a spit-take all over my keyboard.

 

I have a set of 5 powder coated black stock rims with rubi tires. The TPMS sensors come with them. They have about 2000 miles on them. They are in Chicago. PM me if anyone is interested.

 

That's weird.
