[DeTomaso] 7 and 8's on ebay???

[pantdino at aol.com]

 Doug is right--this is an example of buyers not knowing the value of something and paying too much. The question is, who are these gullible buyers? If you already had a Pantera you'd probably already have the wheels, and if you didn't have a P, why would you want them? Some of the "bidders" may be the sellers friends bidding the price up.
 
 A couple of years ago I put my basically show quality 7 and 8 Campies with show-quality Pirelli P7s on ebay and they were bid up to like $850 or something. I decided to keep them at that price.

  Rare my arse! The seller is nearly as clueless as the bidders! These wheels,
in a condition that warrants refinishing, should sell for no more than $250
a set ($50 each for the 7" and $75 for the 8"). A proper refinishing can
easily exceed $100 per wheel and then there's the shipping! As decent tires
for these 15" wheels become increasingly less available, these original
Campy wheels will have little value other than as hose reels or bar stool
bases!
