Default How much should I ask for my tires ?

I bought a 2006 GS300 from Lexus and they installed 4 new Bridgestone Protenza RE050A Ultra high performance tires 225/50/17 on.
I put about 200 miles on them and upgraded to a different tire and size.

Tirerack sells them for $192.00 each.

What would be a fair price for all four ?

One guy on craigslist offered me $250.00 for all four.

you could probably get $400-$500 for the set without shipping. Then figure in another $100 if you have to ship them. $250 for the set of four is very low. There a used one (18" version) on ebay for $115 and it already has one puncture repair.

I checked EBay and didnt see the one listed. DO you really feel that I could get $400.00 for all four tires. (No rims, just tires I am selling)

I searched on "Bridgestone Protenza RE050A" and it was the first one that comes up. It is actually in the UK.

but yes, I think you could get $400 for all for if marketed correctly and with good pictures. Shipping is what will make or break the deal.
