Just to let everyone know the car gets scrapped on tuesday so if anyone needs anything let me know before then please

Seems a real shame to let those Galacticas go to a scrapyard. Are they corroded/badly curbed? If not you should get min £100 for them alone on eBay.... stick on some cheap steelies and scrappie probably won't care.

EDIT: aha! Saw your other post, great minds think alike

They do look a bit corroded though, so £100 might be a stretch unless the tyres are good.

I know its a shame but been on ebay twice now with no bids

If I may discuss eBay tactics for a moment... IMHO, YMMV, etc.....

Hardly anybody gets bargains on eBay any more -- too many snipers and upsellers for that to happen, although every so often you do come up trumps if you're patient. So I'd just lower the starting price to £50, or even 99p, I'm sure they'll bid up to the going rate (whatever that is... but apparently less than £100!)

I'd have thought you'd get at least £50 for any reasonable wheels in OK condition, plus maybe a bit more if the tyres are particularly good. Better to have £50 in your pocket, than nowt, and some old wheels sitting around indefinitely.... Unless you have loads of space of course and then sit tight.

Crater auctions I've been watching have finished around £120+ in OK condition, anything in particularly good condition goes for £150+. Considering a refurb costs £200, it's nonsense buying anything other than a perfect pair. Unless you're doing the refurb yourself.

Maybe worth mentioning in the listing that Paisley Freight will ship them -- I think it's about £35 for a set of wheels.

If someone on here gives me £50 they can have them but i have to have everything gone by tomorrow as i leave the house im in on thursday

LOL -- I'm in exactly the opposite position. Until we get the keys I have no storage space, otherwise I'd gladly take them for £50 just to see how they look!

Daza I need the maf and what other sensors have you got

primarily the maf though I'm in desperate need I have to clean mine reg to keep it running sweet.

Ebay is flat Tom nothing is selling mate it's this election and the uncertainty I think people are just clinging on to their cash we have 5+ years of hell mate if the tory's get back in and especially unbridled.

Daza-B · Apr 7th, 2015, 23:37

If you pm me what you need as will need to know before morning as they are picking the car up tomorrow
