15 inch turbines, what would be the going rate?

I didn't think this exactly fit in the Wanted or For Sale forums, so I thought I'd ask here.

If I were to find a good set of used 15 inch turbines off a Mustang, what would be a reasonable price for them?

Supply and demand, around here 300-400 for a half decent set with  tires.

Well, to elaborate a bit, regionally, Northeastern US (I'm in New Joisey, after all), and without tires.

in my opinion i would'nt pay more then $125.00 for a set of four stock factory rims they are only worth about $25.00 each..

but i'm not going to say that if you find a real mint set that i would'nt pay up to lets say $40.00 each+shiping if you want to get them off ebay.. but nothing more it's just not worth it in my opinion..
since you can get just about any set you want made in 4lug for our cars between $500.00 to $600.00 brand new.. i payed $125.00 for the set of 10 holes that i just put on my car from ebay. i did pick them up localy so i did'nt have to pay shpping which would be $80.00

and even though they where in real good shape and very few chips in the clear coat i knew it would'nt last long.. so i repainted them..

so if you add it alll up..

1 buying a used set of rims $125.00 and about $70.00 to $80.00 shipping where it applys

2 strip the rest of the clear coat about $25.00 "thats the paint striper and powerwash and your own time..

3 recoat or repaint $30.00 and your own time..

125+80+25+30=$260.00

anymore in my opinion i would just buy a new set of rims..

and thats why i waited to get another set if 10 holes..

i refused to pay what some of the people wanted which was like $75.00 to $100.00 a rim get real!

if i even payed $75.00 a rim it would add up to..

300+80+25+30=$435.00

for a used set of stock rims..

never happen in my eyes..

I paid 100 bucks plus 50 bucks shipping for my turbines.
It's Gumby's fault.

$25 per rim is good for turbines.
Probably be dirty with some clearcoat peel or bubling but nothing bad.

I personally wouldn't spend over $125 for a set if I could help it. Desperation plays a big part in it though.
