Hmmm since the Ebay auction ends before the Yahoo one, i'm tempted to bid on the Yahoo auction and push the price up beyond the Ebay price ;)

Unless its his wheels hes selling there is no way to have a good system..........I seen wheels that I thought would sell cheap got for TOO MUCH and wheels that are expensive went for dirt cheap.

Im sure his system is like others i heard of bidded on wheels and got a refund......... he says they were sold by his shop before he could get them to the ebay bidder. MOST bidders dont know.

That would explain the instances of someone buying them from eBay, then their transaction getting canceled and the seller re-posting them for a higher price :dodgy:

He's bidding on the rims, wtf. he should have better business practices, like buying the wheels then selling them. seems like he sets up the auction, then when the american one ends, gets the sellers address/info, then has the package re-routed from his, to the other person's address.....kind of shady, but it could work if he timed it right. it'd just be smarter to just have the rims on hand, but i think he'd be using the people's money to buy the rims, then scrape earnings off whatever profit is left over.

Haha, he would end up paying a crapload just to get the Ebay winner's wheels or would have to refund the bidder's money because "his shop sold the wheels already".
