Old77's '98 ECSB 4x4

[Old77]

Would be worth a shot for sure!!

What's the catch? The shipping alone would be $37 just about and it's FREE SHIPPING. I'd find out the catch and if that's real, yeah, I'd be doing 2 sets, but hope they have them in 16in. I don't like General Grabbers, but at that price, I love them.

Yeah at $37 a piece they're my favorite tire! I'll let you know when they arrive. Based on the vendors feedback score I felt like it was a legit deal so I took a chance. We shall see

Looks like I might get a set for the TB at $37 a tire...

Good deal, do let us know. Even if they are blems with some scuffing on the RWOL letters or something, I'll still run them. I have a feeling that is what they are. They're prolly blems that out of tolerance or something. Like maybe harder to balance and such, but with some equal in the tires, you can get anything to balance. I'll run those on the C20 and get into a size close to 31 or 33 inch for the K1500 since I intend to keep it basically stock. The K10, well I doubt I'll get 33 or 35's for $40 or so.

I got a confirmation email sometime last night from the seller saying they got my payment and that I should receive another email when they are shipped out. I'm still in shock that this is a real deal I was expecting them to come back and say "WHOA!! hold up we made a mistake and we intended on pricing these at $137 a tire"....so far so good :KnockOnWood:

 

[Old77]

....and I just got an email saying they've shipped! That was pretty fast turn around. Holy crap! I'm still in shock that this deal is real LOL

 

[HotRodPC]

I sure hope it's a real deal too. I'm about sure it's got to be blems but at that price, who gives a rats ass? I just can't see how they can ship them too at that price.

Yeah, we'll see once they arrive. They were advertised as new and didn't mention being blemished but like you said if they are I probably won't care as long as it doesn't effect the tire safety, tread or anything that is important. Looking back on the auction it looks like they've now shut that auction down so it also makes sense to me that there was an error in the auction that they didn't intend on so now they've taken it down and will probably put it back up at the price they intend it to be.

Just ordered a set of these tires. I almost ordered two full sets for what they have these priced at but refrained for a reason I'm still not certain of!

Awesome price for a really good tire. I have run the BFGoodrich All Terrains, and the General Grabber AT2, and the Grabbers did much better off road, in the snow, etc. I run them on my truck now, and you can hear them grabbing the pavement as you drive. For $37/tire you cannot beat the price. Nice score.

D'oh!!!

 

[Old77]

D'oh!!!

all good for me but not as much for those hoping to score the same deal

 

[HotRodPC]

Looking at their other tires and what they sale and price, yeah I'm beggining to think that was supposed to be $137 a tire. Someone goofed up in that ad. I'm sure the shipping clerk just fills orders and probably doesn't pay attention to price. I wonder of the guy that renews the eBay ads will catch it next time it gets listed.

 

[Old77]

I would bet it gets caught and the people who DO pay attention to the money in and orders out will give that person an ear full for the mistake I'm just glad I saw it in time. I wonder who else took advantage during that window of time.

IIRC, when I last looked at the ad, 86 tires had sold and more than 10 were still available. It's ended now though.
