Mavic Wheels

[walshy69]

Hi all,

saw some mavic wheels on fleabay the other week, and thought I'd be in with a good chance of getting them, wheels were in Newcastle so I could pick up and save on the postage, my thinking was my bid of £31 would win as no one would pay £47 inc the postage, wrong again, clearly I have no idea about the value of such items.
Is up to £50 an expected price for some wheels ?, could do with some pointers on value for future biddings.

ps : I dont need new wheels but i thought they'd be a good upgrade and worth a punt

the joy of ebay. check out the for sale section here, chap had some nice wheels for £40 earlier....

ebay can be a bit erratic, i paid a fiver for ringle hub on mavic en321 with dt spokes tother day.

Still a cheap set of wheels at under £50 posted with Mavic rims. Some obviously go for more then others but if they have Mavic written on them you'll be lucky to get them much cheaper.

Cheers for replies, at least I have a rough idea of worth, wish I'd asked while auction was live, pushing it over the £50 marker with postage might just have put the other bidder off.
And getting a pair for a fiver is pure robbery, you'll need some Horlicks to sleep i think

i gave £40 for a pair of mavic rimmed dmr hubbed wheels, came with a pair of part worn panaracer xc pro's and a virtually new cassette too.

i was after another set of half decent wheels for a different project and have struggled to find anything close in quality to them for less than £60 plus post.

to get a good bargain on ebay, you need to work on the philosophy that if you throw enough darts at the board, one of them will stick in the bull!

I tried that a while back, I ended up with 3 different winter jackets. Including one that I had put a bid on when I was drunk and couldn't remember :shock:

Mind you the total outlay was less than £20 and one of them was a Schott for 99p.

or my mate who landed a £200 harlika shooting jacket for £6.50 because the old dear in the charity shop didn't realise what she had! early retirement and a penchant for bargains means the little git finds all sorts of stuff! luckily he doesn't use ebay otherwise he'd need a storage unit for all the extra crap he'd buy!
