NOS 15 X 5-1/2" Fuchs on eBay

[Eminence Gris]

Found in the depths of a dealer parts department... 1169 date coded Fuchs. May be the last "new" 5 X 15-1/2 anywhere. I have no idea what this is worth, so I put it on eBay. One only.

Ebay auction #260791580400

What do `U want for it?.....Cliff

[Eminence Gris]

i want what it's worth, but unfortunately, I don't know what that is, so I put it on eBay with no reserve.

Impressive!

[Eminence Gris]

Yeah, I was a bit shocked by where the bidding went. Final price $1404.89!

UPDATE: the buyer has asked to unwind the deal. He somehow thought he was getting 4(!) We'll see if the #2 bidder was under the same impression.

It could have all been done here friendlier, faster & without eBay fees!......Cliff

Perhaps, but I've never successfully sold anything on this BBS that I can recall.

Edit: I did sell a shifter over a year ago. By comparison, I've sold 12-15 items on the "other" BBS in that same period. I usually list here as a courtesy. The list is "purer" for the longhood crowd (of which I'm usually a member).

So did your sale end up going thru at that price?

[Eminence Gris]

Well, funny story about that.

The high bidder may have been high... or reading too fast. Because he thought he was buying 4 wheels for $1404. He did an instant payment when he won. When I sent him a confirming email he pretty much flipped out and begged me to let him off the hook -- which I did by refunding his money. Only problem was, I had already initiated a transfer to my bank account, which did not have $1400 in it. So when I found out i could not stop the transfer, I had to scrape together a bunch of cash and cover the refund. 2 days later, his payment hit my bank account, and the day after that, the payment from the under-bidder. So the wheel is gone. As to what it sold for, I will leave that up to the actual purchaser to disclose if he wishes.
