Given your name here, you're the seller, not a prospective buyer?
Are you asking us if asking $850 BIN is a good price?
What if you only have one bidder at $1?
It may be a default thing with eBay, but as a private seller, would you seriously entertain a 14 day return policy?
Why not offer them on here - there's one or two members in recent posts, talking about them.
$800 shipped might be a deal, and no fees (that I'm aware of) to pay.

Yes i am the seller on ebay for the coilovers.
I purchased them for $1250 from from BC racing, had them installed on the car and for my own personal preference did not like the drop and had them taken off the car the next day. i decided that the fsports spring/shocks were more my speed.
I would like to know what people thought of the price and or would be interested in them and was looking for feedback.

$1250? Ouch!
With bidding from $1, you potentially leave yourself wide open to lose an absolute fortune on them.
Even at $850, less fees, you're eating a hefty loss.
I don't know what to advise other than if the US has anything like the UK/EU regarding distance selling regulations businesses must abide by and adhere to, you can return an item (unused typically) for a full refund.
Might be worth seeing what policy BCR have themselves regarding customer satisfaction or if paid by card, speak with them about what grounds you may have for rejecting the shocks.
You could argue that it'd be impossible to know whether the product would be suitable for you or not, until you had them fitted and drove with them installed.
But whatever you do, get them unlisted for now or switch to a BIN only, and maybe flesh out the ad with a bit more verbiage.
Doesn't really matter why you're selling them, but some buyers will be suspicious of only having them on a day before deciding they were coming straight off again.
It could be argued you never gave them enough time to become accustomed to them, and for the springs to settle, let alone adjusting them to find the sweet spot for you.
So, I think the best solution is for you to see if there's a way you can return them for a refund - even if it means sucking up a 10-15% restocking fee, as by law, the seller can't resell them for the full retail price, but could offer them up as a demo set.

Yes, I may have over paid for them but i"m sure i"m not alone when it comes to making our lexus's look just perfect and the way we like. i appreciate all the feedback both good and negative and will take them under advisement. I truly appreciate the advise.

i appreciate the honesty just a little sarcasm on my part. i have not been a member here long enough to be able to post classifieds but im working on it. i have though reduced my pricing and will be willing to do free shipping within the us
. Although i think an ebay link might be against forum rules. Reason is with eBay/PayPal, a buyer might have more protection than going through a classified as. Good luck to us both!
