caveat emptor

I don't buy used stuff from people I don't know unless it's face to face. Facebook marketplace is slammed with take wheels and tires. Hard to believe no one in your area has any for sale.
If someone knows someone in the NY/NJ area let me know because I’ve seen none ☹

When buying take offs, buy local pick up only. Pay cash once you see the wheels in person. Facebook marketplace is good for buying take offs locally.

I’ve sold a ton of stuff in Ebay, even sent a bike to Sweden once. I have bought far more than I should admit from there as well and I’ve never had one issue with receiving or making a payment or getting what I bought.

I always sent items where they needed to be signed for and asked up front if the buyer wanted insurance or not.

eBay is not perfect but in my mind sure beats the Craigslist, OfferUp or FB market place rodeos when something can not be bought in person.

In addition to what's already been mentioned, ask very specific Bronco related questions. A scammer or shady reseller will at least have to check this forum to get the answer 😆
