On the top right of the page you should see some text saying "Welcome, SydneyBC". Below that is a link with the text "Private Messages". Click that

Default Pictures of steering wheel

Please find attached pictures, get back to me, or discuss amongst yourselves what it is worth. As I said, I have original invoice for wheel and fitments suitable for 1999 996. total cost without fitting was $1,399 US dollars. I want to be fair, so should I sell to first offer or should I wait until say mid-day tomorrow Pacific time. How do you guys normally do these things?
thanks Chris

Very cool wheel. In answer to your question, the seller ALWAYS posts an asking price, it's actually one of the rules of the FS forum (in other words, if you pay $XXX, the item will be sold to you). The first person in line to PM the seller has dibs. Sometimes sellers will post something like $700 OBO. Potential buyers may try to lowball, their offers can be considered, but don't necessarily need to be accepted. But the first person who offers to pay the full $700 should get the item. Often times potential buyers will post "PM sent" in the FS thread to alert others that they have a PM in to the seller. I think this is just to put on public record when they PM'd the seller. That's my understanding of how our FS forum works.

Looks like others are in line, but that's a good deal and nice looking wheel. the red stiching would go very well in my car... always a bridesmaid, never a bride. If, by chance, no one above takes it, consider my name in the hat.

Cheers!~
