Does any idea what the standard 19" seven (double) spoke alloys would be worth?

I'm considering getting new alloys and have can't find any similar online to get a gauge for the value.

I would have thought they would be more?
I need to find the money for my new ones first though.

I would say the valuation depends on whether they are OEM, what condition & whether tyres (& what condition they are in) are included

Have a play around on eBay to see some ideas of valuations of 'em

Put them on ebay, get a mate to bid £1000 and see how high they get. After the auction has ended, do not complete the transaction and you get your fees back

I bought 5x OEM 18"s 5 years ago for around £600 and they were in great condition! They did have tyres but were all around 2mm so they certainly didn't add to the value.

I hope you don't do this!! Firstly it goes against the 'buyer' who doesn't complete the sale but it also screws anyone who is likely to genuinely bid - especially if they see the same auction relisted. Anyway, instead, a better and official way to do it is to check out the eBay 'completed listings'. That way, you can get a feel of the going price far more easily

Send the guy a second chance offer if you like his price.
I have had some proper crap deals on Ebay, items not as described, counterfeit, never turning up,...

Worst one was a seller sending a crappy rusty old spare wheel (instead of the item he advertised) well wrapped so he got a signature for receipt from the courier, I got the Police involved in that particular fraud.

Another one was I bought a bike, the seller was then sent a text from someone pretending to be me, asking for the sellers address to collect the bike. Fortunately I had already had a discussion with him prior to bidding so he knew my name and number. The bogus guy was presumably going to rob the bike once he got the address. It was a pretty rare factory MX bike.
