A set to complete my car
I have wanted a set of these for ages,
what is the general consensus on the price, personally I think the starting price is about double what they are worth - or am I just tight?

I got rid of a set of those a couple of years ago for £300, they were still attached to a MK2 Escort.
Kind regards

Scotty - I'm surprised that you haven't bought a few sets at that price!  You could have then sold them on for a loss to Mark our
original poster! Seems to be your usual modus operandi with ebay!

Easily dealt with Mark... just ask them to slap an address label on each one and tell them you'll arrange a courier to collect.
They shouldn't get arsey as there's no packaging to do. They're old wheels - they'll need a little TLC anyway, so who cares
if they get a couple of more days of being lugged around without any cushioning.
It should cost you more than £25 either if you go through a firm such as Interparcel... all dealt with online and you can arrange the date, place and
person they are collected from, so it's no more inconvenient than arranging the slot to pick them up yourself!

I have tried that, best quote was £50 and they wanted the wheels boxed at the other end - something I would have no control over.

In fact... if the chap at the other end is willing to tape the four wheels into two pairs, then you'll get that price down to £15.

I have used http://www.paisleyfreight.com/index.php quite a bit Mark 
Prices are reasonable & have found them to be quite reliable.
Most decent Ebay sellers will do some basic packaging for you

Thanks for the offers, really appreciated.
Perhaps i could persuade Luke, my son, currently doing a John O'Groats to Lands End cycle to pick them up for me - he is currently at Lochranza,
due to get the ferry to Ardrossan tomorrow at 2.00pm
