It was just a question... And he can set the price for whatever he wants, true? After all, he did add a nice looking set of wheels, right?
............................
I don't have a problem with the price I have a problem with not disclosing previous damage. If you feel nice wheels and tires cancel being told of damage that's you. I posted for the people who want to know. It did not come off as a question, it came off as if YOU already knew the answer. Se how capitalization and underlining Change the meaning of things?
You know Chris, Andrew makes an excellent point, and one I'd think all Callaway owners and prospective Callaway buyers would appreciate. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always been under the impression that one of the cornerstones of the Callaway Owners Group organization and a common practice in this Callaway forum has been to share information regarding all Callaways. To announce and discuss Callaways on the market, their originality, validity, pedigree, history, condition, past ownership, previous damage and repairs and price among other things. As a matter of fact, there's even a sticky thread for just this topic:

As I perceived it, not only was this a good example of the camaraderie that existed within the Callaway community, but it was good for business. The practice portrayed a certain sense of transparency in the pre-owned Callaway market and showed it to be watched over by a group not only closely aligned with Reeves but directly related to a product with his name on it. At least that was my perception of it. Considering that tradition I must assume you were joking when you implied a nice set of rims doubled the value of the car, or negated the seller's responsibility to fully disclose all the information regarding damages and repairs.
When I bought this car in 1997 I was told it had been rear ended and was very minor. Never thought anything of it. When I put it up for sale a guy came to see it who knew alot about cars. I told him what I had been told. As we were talking in front of the car he noticed the passenger wheel sticking out of the fenderwell(you can only notice it when the wheels are straight) and we looked at it and found the repair in the door jamb. we took the car to his mechanic and went over every inch of the car. he did not buy it. The next person to look at it was the guy who is selling it on ebay and yes 89x2 he was told everything I knew about it. thanks for assuming I didnt tell him but I am on here warning people. if you would like i can email my conversations with him. By the way I sold him the car for $8500 which I feel was a good price for what it is. I have been a member on her for a number of years and its nice to see that you question or more like accuse me instead of the guy trying to sell it for double with out telling its history. Do you know the seller 89x2?
Good question.
Another which occurs to me would be, is he a member of the Callaway Owners Group? Surely not.
Nice thing to do with the disclosure and warning to others, Andrew. Commendable.
