Amusing, but seriously, any breaker worth his salt would not crush ANY alloys in good condition. And if they're in poor condition, you might as well crush them as ship & refurbish them, but scrap is only worth a couple of quid..... bog standard alloys will still fetch £50 on eBay, even if one is buckled.

Theyre at £98. That's sod all for a set of wheels, especially a highly sought after OEM wheel.

If you're after a set for less than £100 you'll be waiting forever.

The going rate of £200ish isn't a bad price really when you think about it. Everyone wants them so the prices are what they are. Its a sellers market. When Ive sold Arcadias before I had 4 people arguing over them at one point.

You get to bask in the knowledge that someone had to pay more than you were willing to pay to get them though, so it's all gravy... watching something end for an absolute steal is horrendous

Very true, I refuse to get drawn in anymore on eBay, I put a bid in and walk away.
