I agree that price is obviously ridiculous, but there is another side to
this coin. It kinda reminds me of every time a set of "Buddy Bar Tiger
powered by ford valve covers" go up for auction, and we've discussed
this before I think. You can buy a brand new set of the same casting, in
stock for 230 bucks at SS, but they will sell on ePay for 450 bucks a
pair every time.
The point is that I think this guy is hoping to sell this wheel at an
outrageous price simply by convincing some unexpecting fool that it
really is so rare, that it must be the find of a century. Obviously we
all know the difference, but what if he were to sell it? He would make
250 bucks an laugh all the way to the bank... as they say.
Now I wouldnt do that, because I have to sleep at night, but I'll bet he
doesn't think its worth that, he's just hoping to sell it to someone who
doesn't know the difference. Not trying to defend him, because I think
he's an idiot, but it is a free country and I just pity the fool who
gets reeled into his scheme.
Unfortunately, if one of us posted a headlight on there, and at no buy
it now and it bid all the way up to 450 bucks, nobody would complain, we
( I ) would be thrilled....Id be looking in the shop for more
headlights....but when someone tries to sell something at this high
price from the start we consider it dishonest.
I'm basically playing devils advocate....thinkin out loud. The one thing
I will say is this seller isn't too bright because he posted the
questions of everyone accusing him of misleading his auction viewers.
That's not helping his case at all and he doesn't have to show the
questions and responses. Kinda makes him look stupid.
