Default Ride out the auction till the end or cancel it and sell all for a decent price?

I got an ebay auction going for wheels and tires. auction number 290280007333. Anyway, I am trying to figure out if I should sell for a decent price as I got totally hooked up with these wheels or hold out for maximum dollar. As any who has been here for a while knows, money is not something I have a lot of. No shame in my game. I want to get new fat spoke wheels and this would provide the funds to do so. But then I still gotta get tires and rotors. Rotors are $55 each. No biggee, but the tires are the pricey part. Another $250 or so. So what do I do? Never have been to good with financial decisions and that is why I am asking...There are 2 bids on the wheels with the tires only, but I know most people wait till the last minute to bid. There are 10 people watching the auction.

Quit whining. You put them up for "Auction" or don't you understand the word?

If you didnt put a minimun on them and they have placed a bid, you have no right to cancel the auction. If you did put a min and they havent reached it, ride it out. Maybe you will get what you said you had to have with the min or they wont sell.

If you're gonna do it, you better do it within the next 15 hours.

Check ebay's listing info on ending a listing:

Just asking for advice and true it is only money. Gonna cancel it and they are sold. I can get my rims and and rotors. All I need to do is get the tires. It's all good.

It looks like you wrote it up incorrectly. According to the listing It thinks you have two 2 sets.

I would only change the 2 available thing. I would ride it out unless you have someone offering you considerably more then $610. I would try to get the winner to buy the rotors and pulley even if I had to discount them just a little. I would have put more pics in the listing along with one of the rotors and pulley. JMO

What's with the DUH, (at least that is what I think you meant) But I have to agree with wallyn and FXSTDSE2 Sounds like you have 2 sets available not front and rear. When I clicked the link saw that the auction had ended so I presume that you still have the wheels, tires, whatever since there were no bids. Do yourself a favor and think of ebay as a place to dump the parts you took off your scoot and price accordingly. Think of it this way, if you didn't like them why think others will at a big asking price. I have a few things for sale now, takes offs some are high dollar HD items that I have replaced with something I like better I would like to make a fortune on them but it ain't gonna happen, but they are off the shelf and another rider got them cheaper than new
