Winter Tyres for Sale due to frustration with Gumtree spongles


Recommended Posts

Posted

-----NOW SOLD----

 

Will I never learn...had these up on Gumtree for a week and have suffered the usual standard of time wasters so I'm offering them on here with a fairly generous shitters discount.

 

Ok so they're probably not suited to many shite vehicles being 205 55 16 however someone may want them for a modern or something.

Set of 4 part worn winter tyres 

Vredestein Snowtrac2 205/55/16 cost £90+ each new. 

Tread remaining: 
One with 6mm 
Two have 4mm 
One has 3mm

Autoshite price £50 for the lot collected from South Queensferry (just west of Edinburgh) - would rather not have the hassle of posting but can do so for £80 all in if need be.

I got interested when I saw how close you are but sadly they're too small for my modern shite and too big for my old shite!  Mind you the weather is never bad up here in the winter anyway!  Hey ho

I take the idiots on gumtree wanted a car fitting to the tyres for that price?

Flipping hell they would have fitted my old Vectra too. Never got the use out of the ones I had on the steels though as the car died first.

Not quite but had someone who seemed genuinely interested asking if I'd keep them over the weekend and they'd pick up on Tuesday and pay the full £80, come Tuesday a couple of hours before they were due to come I get a text asking if I'd take £50, I say that's a bit low given that I'd held on to them over the weekend (no skin off my nose but they weren't to know that) and we agree on £60 then they never bother to show up.

Well I take it back...

 

Gumtree is like what this place used to be etc.

 

My faith in Gumtree users is restored, Friday evening I get an e-mail from someone offering £60, fair enough I think as I just want them out of the way now so I accept and within half an hour I have the cash in my pocket and the tyres are away. Just a shame you have to deal with many mongs before finding one genuine buyer.
