Authentic Brabus IV 3 pc

For Sale on Ebay....BUT BUYER BEWARE. This seller bought all their wheels from CEC in California at a closeout cost of approx $700-$850 bucks for a full set (4 rims)!!! Yes sounds amazing...$5000-$6000 worth of rims a few years ago went on closeout and the seller (Coffeehour) bought them all.

Of course now they are on EBAY and the seller is not planning on passing along the savings......in fact he wants to triple his money. I just dont think its right. Buy em if you want but know how much the seller's pockets are being lined.

I tried to reach out to the seller and make an offer giving a bit more than the seller paid and they wont even reply!

So if he bought them for $100 he should sell them for $80? I would sell them for market value no matter what I paid unless I was selling to a friend or family member.
