Saw this on Ebay and I have to laugh at the nerve of some people. This guy is asking more than factory list on these wheels and far more than what we can buy them for. I guess there is a sucker born everyday but this is crazy.

There will always be guys hoping to find a fool. Are the speedline still available from Porsche?
It seems like no given the tactics of this guy. I think I will bid at 2.025K...

I wrote to him this morning and let him know they are still available from Porsche and notified him of the prices I was recently quoted. He will obviously have this set for some time. I believe he had them advertised months earlier on Ebay for $15000? Jim

This is the same dude who bought my '94 RSA for $40K in 2004, sold it a few months later for almost $50K. He then repurchased it from that dude---and just recently had it listed on the RSA.net site for $79K. From what I've seen/heard, he is a typical flipper.

Good luck getting the $10k for the wheels---doh!!!

Tell the 968 guys to come over here before buying speedlines we are happy to set the price right for them.

So, how much is an original (used but in good condition) set of speedlines worth these days? Any ideas? I've been trying to get a feel for the market because I'm on the fence between RH replicas and the real mccoy.
