(Wheels) What is the definition of GOOD?

RobUK · 11-22-2015, 03:28 AM

Am I missing something here? This fleabay person is selling a set of 403Ms and is describing them as being in GOOD condition. I mean wft?!! Would anyone buy this for £150??

Probably as you can't say 'Shit' on eBay, just sell it.

Very poor condition.

1 wheel for £150 no, 4 for £150 yes.

philiper1 · 11-22-2015, 03:38 AM

There isn't much wrong with that, is there? Slightly scuffed! Bent! Corroded!

Rbrown · 11-22-2015, 03:39 AM

Very poor condition. I would have concerns about how safe they are.

He's having a laugh isn't he?

Clearly didn't spec surround view either....

Canary_Yellow · 11-22-2015, 03:54 AM

I presume he's only selling the one wheel as that's the only one in his set that he's completely ruined!

It's good condition in the sense it still exists, that's about it.

These are more than good

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3714874736...84.m1555.l2649

Please bid high!!!

I find this to be a difficulty in buying anything second hand. I collect vintage HiFi and as you can imagine, the definition of "good" has a large amount of variance. My preferred sellers rate their definitions. By way of example 10/10 would be "as new", 9/10 minor marks, very difficult to see and so on.

I would Vote No to buying these...

JustChris · 11-22-2015, 04:41 AM

ROFL good. Hmm yeah.

AlfaM · 11-22-2015, 04:44 AM

Depends - if it came off a woman's car...

JD6 · 11-22-2015, 04:55 AM

Presumably the owner of that wheel doesn't use their hands while driving - instead uses the kerb to push them around corners!

Gixerste · 11-22-2015, 05:00 AM

The photo shown is of a rear alloy (255/ 35 tyre) not a front alloy so as well as getting the alloys condition wrong he cant even get which alloy it is correct

Mattyk · 11-22-2015, 05:03 AM

I would return it for a warranty replacement, it's corroding.....

Wow, 950 for a set of wheels with shagged tyres! The £600 bid seems fair IMHO?

Lol, checked the bid history, bet the seller was gutted

Just noticed it's fitted with a Barum tyre. Not a make I've ever heard of
