I think everyone is getting confused about how to discount. A value on used items cannot be based on the retail "new" price. As soon as wheels are mounted they are used and cannot be resold for anywhere near the new price. They only decrease in price with every mile, nick, scuff, scratch and bend.

unless it's a rare/limited style and/or wheel like BBS LM champ editions, mint or not there is still some depreciation to factor in as well as looking at the current market...
did you sell the rims?

can i ask an honest question...
is that 300 really worth THAT much to you?
at the end of the day, is that 300 the reason why you would keep your car?
you wouldnt sell your car and wheels and move on because of $300?

^^every dollar counts, he has already discounted them heavily from his original price, another 300 is a big jump from the original price. I hope the seller stays firm at $2300 as that is a veryyyy fair price

Start a new Ad and maybe people will have the confidence of pucrhasing your wheels...There is alot of confusion in here, good and bad and you might want to post actual pics. I myself was sceptical on wanting ur wheels and moved on to another set after reading all the post and replies but it is a great deal only if you make your buyers confident enought to shell out $2300. Just helping out....GLWS
A better approach would be to take individual photos of each wheel, as well as close ups of ANY minor or major defects. GL.

So what happened with the buyer that went to see them last Friday? Didn't we have our fingers crossed (mainly so we stop seeing this thread), seems there is something wrong if all these people have been to see them and they haven't sold yet.
+1 on what redEYE said, seems like the FS threads for these wheels have been around like 10 years now
