And here in the States? Faeries come in the middle of the night, and steal all the Audi parts from junk yards. They're always all gone before the first night ends. Honest.


These were the wheels and tires that came on mine (not my pic). I was going to try to sell them locally. How much do y'all think I should ask?

I believe you . Funny word. I thought a faerie was a fairy, so I had to look that in the dictionary. Good example.

If the tires have 35,000 miles on them, then you're basically selling the wheels. Wheels (generally speaking) can be worth $200-300 for the set of four, or $200 apiece for the enthusiast. And if they have to be shipped anywhere, it pays to pull off the old tires first, since they'd more than double the shipping costs. (Greyhound used to be an economical choice for ground freight in the US, actually. Just wrap 'em up and take 'em to the bus terminal, they only do terminal-to-terminal.)
