Sales Strategy for Wheels

I have a set of NNBS Yukon Denali chrome 20" wheels I've been trying to sell locally for months. But prices have fallen off a cliff. I'm pulling the ad to wait out COVID, or at least wait for another stimulus check. But I'm also thinking about having the wheels painted, since I'll have some time. Do you think they'd sell better with a fresh coat of paint than chrome? I'm leaning toward black, as the "murdered out" look is still a thing. Gloss or matte? What would you want as a buyer?

How much have you been asking for them?

 

[Dustin Jackson]

@the_tool_man I'd say leave them like that and offer to have them repainted for additional cost.

From the pic they look in great shape. Is the chrome pitted, peeling or flaking? If not I'd leave them.

Matte black just looks cheap IMO.

I would probably leave them chrome as properly painting them gloss black will take a lot of work (thorough sanding and priming).

But I do think they will probably sell easier in gloss black.

Leave them as is.

what is your asking price? Possibly too high? Those are going for $400 or less in my area.

just wait out COVID a little more and list them again

The problem is probably people want something for nothing--or almost nothing.

Most likely true....is why I hate selling anything anymore. Always wanting to trade rather than give you money and it’s never a trade for anything good. Usually get offered a stock muffler off a Honda Civic “still in good shape” or a bucket of off brand legos or something.
