Well it is a big company so I assumed it was some kind of a return or tested set.

That makes sense. If they are a return item I bet they are listing them at there price which gives us a idea of markup on them.

That is because once you reach a certain percentage on the auction bid, the buy it now will vanish. These were a buy it now/auction listing. Ask the seller.

Ok, I won't argue but I looked at the thing yesterday when I placed a bid and it was at 199. and there was NO "buy it now price"

but I'm not going to argue

well, I am not sure how good of a deal it will turn out to be

anyway I'm kinda in the same boat about half way there on my savings for a brand new set at 895. so when I get paid on the 15th of June I have a set with my name on it

hi,

they are used to test the fitment, no actual miles on them.


The mystery is solved, the answer to my question concerning the reason for sale.
