S-Lite & Run Flat $$

My MCS is due to arrive at the dealer next week and already have purchased Goodyear Eagle F1's and Centerlines to put on immediately when I get it.

Brings up a question, what would be a reasonable price to sell brand new S-Lites and Run Flat Tires?

I would keep it in your garage just in case you run into a flat or something.

Well, it seems folks on eBay still get around $1000 for a complete set (when they are dealer take-offs).

I took mine off 6 weeks ago with 47 miles and got $1050 on Ebay +150 shipping. I set the price with another auction from a dealer, and actually think I shorted myself 100 bucks maybe even two. The UPS charge was right at 200 bucks and the ebay/paypal fees were another 75 total. My Rota Sub Zero's with F1's ended up costing me $200.

For $1200, I will not only ship them UPS anywhere in the continental US, I will take Visa / Mastercard or Discover with no surcharge.

You won't find any of those suckers (er, buyers ) here. Ebay's the only place you'll get into four digits.

I just picked up a set of "0" miles 17" S-Lites on ebay for $200, rims only. I thought this was a good deal. (Now I have to decide what performance tires I want to buy.)

On the Marketplace here on NAM I've been watching and seeing what you want to sell going for $700-$1100. If you sell on NAM you'll save on the ebay fees. If you have a PayPal account, the buyer can still send you $$$. You'll just pay the PayPal fees on what money you receive. Good luck!
