This line -

This is a pick up only for the Alloys As I don't want them damaged by courier's

is a total killer and irrelevant to you

1) not your problem, up to the buyer to insure their courier is covered for damage and trustworthy
2) if you wrap and pack them properly, they won't get damaged
3) unlikely anyone is going to travel over a 100 miles to collect some wheels which means their not appealing to like 95% of potential buyers

I suggest you locate a pallet and stack them upright in a row with bubble wrap between them such they are safe and ready to pick up and someone will be interested.

will only appeal to a very small perfectionist type of quite a small group of mk1 fiesta owners, most of the others can't stand the original wheels

Cheers Mr Whippy


Thanks for the impute but the cost of the Pallet would be costly & no one is going to pay for that on top of the cost of the Alloys

That why I listed pick up only

Its a niche product, if you want decent money you need to open it up country wide.
Its only 4, cardboard/Bubble wrap the faces, cover with a bin bag and duct tape the rim edges.

Paisley will take them like this for under £30
https://www.paisleyfreight.com/alloy-wheel-courier

Goods need to to be individually wrapped with bubble wrap over the entire alloy wheel and then fully enclosed with cardboard with an address label put on each parcel.

I suggested you put these in ebay as you've been trying to sell these for over 26 weeks and nothing
