TR6 Aluminium Trim Rings for a TR6

I put some aluminium trim rings on e-bay and would be interested to hear what you think I will get for them.

https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...21241904&rd=1,1

I bought these about 5 years ago but was disappointed as they weren't perfect. They were listed as NOS. Do you think I've been fair in my description of these very nice trim rings? I believe I paid somewhere around $200 to $300, but I really don't remember. I can still change my ad so suggestions are welcome. I want to be fair.

If 3 of the 4 are close to perfect you should get over a hundred, but $200-300 might be steep. You never know though with ebay, 2 guys may slug it out.

The originals are rare because they have the squared edge. All the repos I have seem look ok but are usually chrome and have rounded edges not like the originals.
How much you hoping to get?

I don't know about the "square" edges. I'd like to get about $150. I remember that I felt the item was misrepresented when I bought them and that I had been ripped off.

Jackag91, Aluminium are no longer avaliable and in my opinion look much nicer than steel. Most trim rings have curb rash or circular scratches from washing.

Thanks for the info. I hope your auction goes well and you get a couple of guys duking it out.

I guess I will have to dig them out tonight and see what they look like.

You don't think they would look good on the Crypt Car
down here in Puerto Rico? And here I have $400 just
burning a hole in my wallet- outside mainland USA!!
