I have a set of four alloy rims from a 90's 900s left over after
upgrading.

Where might you regulars recommend I post them to get a decent shot at
finding a good home for them?

tia,

Here? If you're in the UK, UK SAABs is a good place which allows adverts.
SAAB Trader? Again, a UK site. SAAB Central does not and I don't know about
SAAB Scene or SAAB Net (since I don't frequent those boards). Other
local/regional forum boards may also allow adverts.

Where are you located?

Sorry, I forgot to add these rims are near San Francisco California,
USA, and as I won't be selling many things online I don't see a need to
share the wealth with eBay by obtaining an account. (And pass the
savings on to you!  har har.)

These are the 15 spoke alloys, with a  four bolt pattern, complete with
caps and are in great shape.

I'm working on getting a picture posted online.

What I'm interested in would be some links to the forums you more
habitual Saab owners might be aware of, (my experience is in the VW
realm of things).

Thx in advance,
TBerk

It costs nothing to have an account at Ebay. You pay a small fee to
list and a small fee at final sale. You can request a money order but
most people set up a pay pal account. Paypal is free too but if you
want to take credit cards (setup free) then you pay a fee for every
transaction - including cash x-fers

Ebay is well worth the additional exposure you will get. I suggest you
gain some familiarity with it before selling something of significant
value through it though. There are good and bad ways to list items,
tricks to choosing starting prices and reserves (bad idea), etc. You
should learn the in's & outs.

You can list stuff at Saabnet.com in the classifieds if you like. No
idea what the fees are there.

And take note that as of the end of December last year, www.bidpay.com has
stopped operating so there isn't any way that I know of to purchase US$
money orders online to pay Ebay sellers with.

Craig.

Well, as it turns out the original owner I was hoping to sell these
rims for was pressed for time, (but more importantly storage space) so
the four rims ended up in San Jose at the recycler's.

:[)

Thx to all in any case.

That was over a month ago.  Surely he had time to sell them in a months
time...
