Reply to "CAMPAGNOLO Wheel Set 8/10" ???"

I have recently (within the last 1-1/2) seen Campi 10x15's with prices of $5,000 and as much as $6,000 for the pair. Neither of those sales lingered.



I was actually approached privately here on this forum and offered $6,000 for my pair by someone in Europe. Maybe it was just a great exchange rate for the buyer at that time? Who knows? That was about four years ago and I'm still in shock, but no longer need to take oxygen now.



The current asking price in that ad is about what Hall was selling them for while Gary was still alive. $500 for the 8's and $1,400 for the 10's.

That set definitely needs cosmetic attention and the physical condition isn't well documented.



Right now, today, for ALL special and/or rare parts, not just these wheels, it seems to be a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation with attempting to pricing anything so it gets sold.

I'm not in the market for the wheels right now, but why they aren't gone yet kinda' fits into my thoughts that it is a "cash poor/assets rich" scenario that I am seeing right now? I don't think that I am imagining this. Something is definitely going on with very slow sales.



In any case, someone with a a Detomaso secretly desiring the 10's should do some soul searching about buying that set, cash poor or not.

The quality of the magnesium used in the Campagnolo's is not showing any of the same deterioration of something like the old American Torque Thrusts or 200s.

The current cost of the tires to fit these wheels likely is a deterrent though.



Going from a set of four P7's at $500 a set to $900 per tire could fairly be described as a "come to gee z us moment" by some though. Including me.
