Wow, think I’m sat on a goldmine.

Here’s me thinking my piles of mid to low range 26” wheels were tat that I’d have to almost give away. I know these are asking prices not sold prices but wow, I must be sat on a fortune of Exage and Deore LX!

And if you want skewers for some of those you’ll have to cough up more as they are being rinsed separately.

Those prices are crazy. I also like how they try to sound like a big company rather than just a bloke in his shed selling tat.

A bit of a clean would be nice for that kind of money as well!

I’ve often wondered when I see really high prices is there some benefit to doing this that doesn’t involve selling the stuff? If it’s run as a company as such does the value of the inventory make a difference?

Maybe there's some kind of accounting trick where it's advantageous to initially list at very high prices. I often see people repeatedly re-listing, dropping the BIN price or auction starting price by 5-10% each time until a buyer bites. How does Ebay listings work for commercial type selling? Can people pay a monthly fee to list and relist as much as they like? If yes then starting ridiculously high and dropping slowly might make sense, although possibly it could backfire if buyers frown on that type of approach.

I think it's just nutters trying their luck until their luck runs out (lowering repeatedly)

I think a lot of people have wounded pride in selling stuff.
