With all the buying and selling of parts that goes on here, it seems as good a place as any to ask for suggestions about some items a friend wants me to list for him on Ebay.
He purchased these chrome Corvette wheels/tires new from Mid-America Motorworks (Effingham, IL) a few years ago (fall of '09 is what he said) for a Corvette C5 he had at the time. Before he even had a chance to mount the set on the car though, he sold the car (got too good an offer to say no to). Since then, the entire set has been stored in his garage.
So: never even bolted to a car, never seen a lugnut, tires still have all those new rubber nips and pieces of the stickers on the treads, mounted/balanced and ready to go, even have Corvette valve stem caps and Corvette emblem centercaps.
Anyway, he's curious what he should consider a fair current value (or starting bid price) to place on them to at least get the auction started. I posted the same question on a couple of Corvette forums, but the only response I got was from someone who was actually interested in buying them...and maybe I'm looking at the situation incorrectly, but if he was actually interested in buying them, he didn't exactly seem like the best person to be asking what they should be sold for.
This exact set currently sells new for $2200. Any suggestions?
