So looks like used stock 987 18"s could bring much more than $1500. Good to know.

Hi,

No there is nothing illegal about it. And, had I paid the asking price, or even done the deal w/ a stranger, I might feel differently.

But, Doc and I negotiated a good price. And at least morally, if I had bought them and flipped them, I would have felt I cheated Doc, because I think our price was reached partly due to being fellow members of this forum.

Nothing illegal, but I would have felt like I was taking advantage of Doc's fairness and generosity if I had.

I like looking at this Mug in the mirror every morning and want to keep it that way...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Absolutely agree. Didn't mean to imply I'd have acted differently. Though, the outside guy maybe doesn't share the same fellowship thus feeling less morally constrained about the flip.

That guy didn't buy my wheels. I sold them to a member at the caymanclub.net. He lives in North Carolina and is using the wheels as an extra set for Autocross.

I did sell the wheels for a good deal and partially b/c I was selling them within the Porsche community. Had I gone to E-bay I would have asked for more.

On a side note. Jim, if you purchased the wheels from me and resold them I would have been fine with that. Wanted them out of the garage and that would have saved me the hassle of shipping.
