It was a $10.00 junkyard item twenty-five years ago!

I was the one that bought the wheel. At this time anything less than $250 is a good deal.Marc

I would have to agree with you Marc. I was going to bid on that item, but I couldn't get to my computer fast enough. It's sad what we will pay for that one little code... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif Didn't the last set on ebay go over $1200.00 for 4 wheels????

It's interesting how escalating prices for "code correct" or "numbers matching" parts seem to bring out various suprised/astonished responses. Who among us would not put that XT wheel on eBay hoping to get as much, if not more than the market will bear, even secretly hoping someone will go crazy and place a huge winning bid? Would any of us then tell that winning bidder that they bid 'too much' and then offer a lower, more 'reasonable' price?

Oh, and it's going to get worse as time goes by. Put another way, as time goes by, it's going to get better for guys with such parts in their personal stash. Isn't that how it's supposed to be in America? Isn't this a perfect example of capitalism at it's best? Higher and higher prices that net higher and higher profits? Who among us is against that? Who among us is against capitalism? Who among us is against the American Way?

(Am I beginning to sound like John Belushi in "Animal House" when he's trying to rally his frat brothers into going after dean Wormer, Greg Marmalard, and Doug Niedermeyer? "Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? NO!")

We go over this kind of thing ad nauseum after Barrett-Jackson, etc., and eBay constantly elicits the inner Tasmanian Devil in many of us. But you know what? There's not one of us with old parts in the garage who doesn't think, "Wow, $214 for an XT wheel. I'll have to get at least that much, per wheel, for the set that's under my workbench if I decide to sell them."

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

That's a fairly accurate speach, it's only when you are the guying looking for one of those wheels that it's a 'bad' price https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
