For Sale Ferrari 430 Scuderia Wheel Set, Dark Grey, OEM Original Parts - 226580 & 226576

Your eBay buy now price was $4k with $170 shipping and I’ve watched the first two auctions end, without hitting reserve, at $2200 and $1700 if I remember correctly.

$8500 is ridiculous. They can be had for $3000-5000 if people use Google. Factory Scud wheels, not just the smaller knockoffs.

I hate people attempting to rip off the fchat community.

The fact is, these are worth $3-4k hence the auctions not going higher. People need to stop this hype market. The wheels are 15 year old technology. There are cheaper and better aftermarket wheels. I still want Scud wheels but $8500 is absolutely insanely ridiculous. It’s insulting to the FChat community when your last 3 auctions failed to hit reserve and your buy now price was $5k on eBay.

Dude, chill.

1) I messaged you on eBay for cash offer
-you didn’t respond
2) I messaged you on fchat
-you didn’t respond
3) I asked if they were 18” or 19” and you responded
-I placed a bid on your auction

I did NOT keep messaging you after you said “no.” Lol

It’s a several thousand dollar purchase. I’m going to ask for details and offering cash *in person* is absolutely appropriate for *both* parties.

I’ve been quoted $3500 for a set from Australia, plus shipping. Obviously I’d rather cash in person. I’m not “harassing” you.

You’re the guy asking a 70% markup for fchat community. That’s price gouging.

Oh right, I also messaged you after the auction failed to close again. I offered cash in person again and didn’t lower my original offer. Ironically, I offered cash in person higher than any auction bidder from your last 3 auctions and you’re angry at me? You ignored all my offers. And now you place a 70% markup above your eBay buy now price? Dude, that’s rude. And now you’re lying saying you said “no” to me and I kept coming back to you; you never replied to any offer.

Yes, I looked you up on fchat before I placed a bid on an eBay auction. eBay is full of scammers now a days. Not sure why that’s inappropriate… You have only a few reviews in the last 12 months on eBay.

I’m not “harassing” you. Grow up. It’s a ~$4,000 purchase… people are going to communicate with you in regards; you never responded to any of my offers, which were all higher than any auction bid and cash in person. Your last fchat thread contribution was 10 years ago and last comment 1 year ago. Don’t get high and mighty.

**Don’t be angry because I point out you upped your eBay buy now by 70% for the FChat community.**

I'm just gonna step in here for a second.

I've known Ed for quite some time. He's a stand up guy, great Ferrari enthusiast, and as honest a guy as I've ever met.

While technically, posting helpful facts in a classified is allowed under the rules, adding personal insults is not. Suggesting that Ed is trying to rip folks off here is insulting and absolutely without merit.

So JM, dial it back some. You've made your point, move along and keep it civil.

If you don't like his asking price, then don't buy from him.

D

 

I understand your point but it seems one sided.

Ed made two lies:
1) that he told me no to my offer (he never responded)
2) that I continued to try and convince him after he told me no (I gave him a cash offer before auction ended and one after; hardly excessive)
His lies were malicious to discredit me versus my initial comment was fact based and in FChat community’s best interest.

His actions of marking up his previous ‘buy now’ price by 70% for the FChat community is insulting and disingenuousness. This is a forum and by definition it relies on communication of its members. People should know these wheels failed to yield auction price above $3500 (3 times) and that $8500 ask is excessive. I should be able to voice those concerns despite not making an offer as it is informing others to not blatantly overpay for something. I consider excessively high prices scamming, some people call that good business, to each their own. I am not sure how my comments/implications of him over charging are any more insulting than his lies and his comments attempting to discredit me based on fchat seniority.

I’m not interested in continuing participation in this thread, but I responded to your comment for the above reasons.

These will sell at $7500 no problem. Getting very rare now in mint condition.

Great set here Ed.

 

I offered you 4k on ebay, you should have taken that

 

Beautiful set! Very reasonable price, as these are getting much harder to find. The last set that I sold new old stock went for 6500 + ship ask, in a day for a quick move.

Do not listen to these cheapskates & sell at their 2-4k budget.

 

Sounds like you’re making money on inflating the market too. “Cheapskates.” Lol

These guys offered me and another member a set for $4k: [email protected]

I found another set for $3500 requiring refinishing but they’re sold now. Facebook marketplace.

This set in this thread was Buy Now on eBay for $5k so FChat gets a 70% markup. They failed to yield over $3.5K at auction 3 times. If we are “cheapskates” for not over paying, what do you call people who artificially inflate prices (FChat 70% markup)?
