...but the point I was making was that the frenzy in eBay causes folks to pay way more for something than they should. There are a bunch of sources for a single wheel - bone yards, saab-specialty-used-parts places, etc. But typically a single used wheel in good conditioned (even the places that offer remanufactured ones) are way below the $187.50 winning bid. It's a prime case of not knowing what the market value is for something when you bid. I treat ebay as a sort of classified ads place, where I know what I'll pay and if it gets too rich, I look elsewhere. Others act as though it's a contest to get the item.
As an fyi - the seller has another identical wheel that just came up in auction with the same $19.99 starting price. I"m gonna (for chuckles) do another bid and see how high this auction goes. Typically, the eBay'ers that have 3 feedbacks or less (especially the 0 feedback first timers) are the ones that go up pretty high.......
