  • Trying to sell a 15mm wheelset… no takers; am I asking too much?

    I'll start off by saying that this isn't a sales pitch; I honestly don't if I'm either asking too much – or if 15mm only wheels aren't popular/wanted.

    They're the unridden wheels off my 2009 Giant Trance X3; WTB rims on Giant hubs (sealed cartridge bearings) with WTB freewheel – Q/R rear and 15mm only at the front.

    How much should I be looking for selling these at?

    If you set anywhere above 50% retail as a starting price, I for one won't even start bidding.

    What did you start them at?

    And based upon the experience of wheels on previous Giants, they're not a particularly quality item.

    If they're not available retail, it will always be tough to gauge a price.

    As cynic-al says, they're OE so hard to gauge. Had them at £90 BIN or best offer, I'd accept £75. I was basing that on the cost of the rims alone, plus a bit for hubs and building.

    Sounds fair enough.

    I'd guess that generaly 15mm forks tend to be good, not cheap budget forks, so the kind of people looking to buy 15mm wheelsets are happy to buy some quality wheels to go with the forks, rather than some cheap giant hubs and wtb rims, even if they are not actually that bad. They are hardly quality brands.

    No-name (or might as well be) hubs, average rims and unknown spokes… Too much to start, you need to just ebay them from £0.99.

    Thanks all for your input; have relisted and started bidding at £0.99.

    will they convert to QR?

    Probably, but I don't have the adapters and I wouldn't know where to start looking; think one problem with selling them has been this lack of flexibility.
