Okay, How about this one? He says he has no problem keeping them, "they are like gold". I'm guessing it is good that he is okay with keeping them.

They won't like gold when the zombie apocalypse finally hits! Holy bejezus tho, $50K for some wheels?!?!?!

On the original topic, there is another guy that has a packet of 9 of them on auction now. Let's all go have some fun! LOL.

I'm a firm believer that no one should pay very much for a part. If they do, they should be excommunicated and after 30 days of ridicule...hanged.

Exaclty, but unfortunately some people have too much money. 40 years ago my dad and I had a small wholesale antique business. It was mostly a hobby, but pretty profitable. In our area at this time people started paying outrageous prices for a piece simply because they wanted it. It was great for the retailers, but it ruined our business. It was impulsive and impossible to predict. The market has tanked with the economy and I laugh every time I look at the 130 year old solid walnut roll top desk that I bought last December for 1/5 of the market list price (about 1/3 of wholesale).

I was hoping that our hobby would experience the same market fluctuation, but that's not happening. Maybe in 10-15 years.

I guess since he could not get $49,969.69 for these wheels he decided to change the price...

Must have had one or two people that were really interested in them.
