Its bad form, and nothing else can be said to overcome that point, and regrettably the perpetrator has dug himself in even deeper with his arrogant and foolish comments, but then it was really arrogant to put the wheels back on here again, if a fast buck was the aim, and I can't personally see any other aim than that here.
Its incedible to come back to try to sell what was sold at a good and kindly price, for a much higher one, and to have used the items for 3 months on the road too.
There's got to be brake marks on the front rim (and crap braking too, with that finish on them for road use too) and the rain and salt etc, as well as general use means they're used, and therefore worth less than bought for.
Some things do go up in value in the bike world, but they're rare, and its supply and demand/market forces, but not with wheels, not even if its Ghibli/Mavic 5 spoke either.
I worry that the buyer feels he/she's getting a good deal, perhaps I'm wrong there, but I don't think I am, but seeing this certainly breaks my views on trust.
