some people just piss me off (centra wheels)
Allyn,
What he paid has nothing to do with what they are worth...
My $30 Mk.1 euro bumpers are a good example of that.
$100 seems like a classic VWVortex low ball offer. :)

annoying how after i offer to more than double his money (he got em for $40
locally), he suddenly likes them. i'll paste the IM convo we had going in
the background. compare times with those posted in the thread.
(6:56 AM 8-25-2004) Allyn: heya man, im Al, the guy building the twin engine
scirocco. Jeff let me know about the possible sale of those centras. please
let me know if its a possibility. i'm on a budget with building the twin and
all, but i promise i'll try to make it worth your while. here is a link to
my project page:

(6:58 AM 8-25-2004) Allyn: heres a link to what i'm trying to re-create:

(8:26 PM 8-27-2004) grayfox: hey you imed me? i didnt get any of them
(8:33 PM 8-27-2004) Allyn: Allyn (6:56 AM 8-25-2004): heya man, im Al, the
guy building the twin engine scirocco. Jeff let me know about the possible

(8:34 PM 8-27-2004) Allyn: if you want a better way to im me back, my i.m.
details are on the project page, just pick your poison
(8:36 PM 8-27-2004) grayfox: looks pretty good how far are you so far? where
are you located?
(8:37 PM 8-27-2004) Allyn: im in charleston, SC, but a bud of mine lives
right near ya and could arrange pickup. easy for you - no packing / shipping
(8:38 PM 8-27-2004) grayfox: ahh cool right now im just needing the money to
buy new tires for my bbs wheels and help pay off my speeding ticket
(8:40 PM 8-27-2004) Allyn: well, let me know what you are looking to get for
them. i cant relaly offer more than i might end up getting for selling off
the curved face ones (centra type 6) that i already have. i've got like a
billion things going on financially at the moment (in the navy, about to
change duty stations, trying to buy a house at the next station, arranging
the move, all of that crap). its kind of the worst time for me for these
wheels to finally show up, but i'll try to make it work if i can.
(8:30 AM 8-28-2004) Allyn: so... how much ya want for em man?
(2:50 PM 8-28-2004) grayfox: let me think about it a bit. i looked in the
classifieds of the vortex and there was a guy selling some for 400.. im not
going to sell them for that much but it gives me an idea
(8:50 PM 8-28-2004) Allyn: ok, just keep in mind i can make it an easy sale
for you - as far as you not having to ship or anything (my friend is more
than willing to pick them up and hold them for me)
(12:56 AM 8-29-2004) grayfox: well i am going to sell them for sure, just
need to figure out a price. shoot me an offer. all 4 are in extremely good
condition, one has a little bit of rash, but thats it. no center caps on
them either
(2:27 PM 8-29-2004) Allyn: condition sounds decent, but center caps are a
pretty big issue (they are even harder to find than the wheels). anyhow,
hows $100 sound - more than doubles what you got em for.
(2:28 PM 8-29-2004) Allyn: that set you saw for $400 was a gorgeous fully
restored set (powder coated and everything, very nice). even i would have
jumped at them for $400 had i known they went up for grabs.
(2:53 PM 8-29-2004) grayfox: i dont know about 100 just because i like them
a ton. let me think about this
(7:16 PM 8-29-2004) Allyn: k man lemme know. btw - i offer $100 becuase i'll
be lucky to get that if i tried to sell my type 6's without center caps. i'm
only trying to break even here.
argh
