Selling advice for tear-offs

Flying to NorCal this week to pick up my first Tacoma and driving down to SoCal. I’m stoked!

I asked the dealer to upgrade the wheels and tires, but now I have to figure out what to do with the tear-offs, a bit of an oversight on my part.

Looking for some advice on how to unload them early in my trek from NorCal to SoCal to reduce the risk of them getting ripped off.

I’ve had the set listed for $1,000 for a few days now on OfferUp in Sacramento and on Craigslist in a couple NorCal markets, but haven’t received any hits yet.

Unfortunately my TacomaWorld account is too new to post in the ad forums.

I imaging someone would love to have them. Should I lower my price? Do you think any local tire shops would buy them from me at a reasonable price?

Thanks!

 

Well considering you don't actually have the truck, and therefore the wheels yet, I can see why they haven't sold. Kind of hard to sell things to strangers without having said parts in your possession, people tend to be sketched out easily. Not to mention people like getting what they want, now, not whenever you get around to getting the wheels.

Get the wheels and tires in your garage first, then take some good photos, and then post them for sale for $800 and be open to some wiggle room from offers.

They'll sell

 

Who would want to buy a tire that was torn off? Try "Take offs", sounds much better and that's what they actually are. Good luck, they'll sale.

 

yes I sold ny take off wheels very quickly. i priced them low but with just a little nit of wiggle room. remember just storing them and moving them around has a 'cost'
