value of these hub caps ?

[blazer2007]

I have a set of 4 of these 12 in. hub caps I,ve been packing around for 30 yrs and wanting to get rid of then locally, e bay wants lots.cleaning out the shed for more room and found these and other good junk

Look to be in pretty decent condition, but depends on how well they clean up. eBay sold prices say around $15-20 each, and $60-100 for a set. Knock off around 12% for the eBay and Paypal fees if you go that route though.

If selling locally, you will likely get someone who wants to haggle. I'd start it around $100 for the set, as long as they clean up well. If they look damn new NOS when you clean them, then maybe more.

These are sold listings:

Yeah, the main thing with eBay is to make sure you are looking at SOLD listings if you are trying to value an item. I flip things on eBay a lot, and often it is in areas I have no knowledge of value. I find a price to list at by:

Searching for the item (usually I try to use the most vague wording as I can that is still narrow in results)...
Click on the filter and filter by completed items.
If the auction amount is green, then that auction was won for that amount, if it's green with a line, it was a best offer, and it didn't get won for that amount, but usually its something close, if the amount is black then that listing didn't sell.
By doing completed instead of 'sold' you can tell if an item is in demand, because if ALL the auctions for that kind of item sold, then its pretty hot (or pretty rare), and can help a bit on guiding the price.

If you search for an item on eBay and just go by list prices, you will be over by quite a bit, because people get on there and list buy-it-now prices for way too high amounts all the time.
