How should I sell studded snow tires?

[uberman]

I've got 2 studded snow tires that have been used only one season. They were $240.00 at Costco. I'm trying to get rid of them so I can reclaim storage space.

The studded snow tires aren't generating any sales on Craigs list even though I'm offerring 2 for $20.00. Any suggestions on how I can get rid of them for some money rather than just throwing them away?

Price them higher.

Sell them to someone who just moved from the south?

donate them and make a claim on tax return.

True, the psychology of marketing. I know they used to let people run studs in Pinecrest above Sonora. Are there niche markets allowing studs in CA?

I just bumped them up to $60.00 for the pair. If nothing happens, I think it will be the flea market for them this weekend.

Edit your item title to:

"Extreme Snow Tires!!!"

Make up some bull about the tyres being made from thaldimaniumiodide and have a hot chick posing with one. *shrug*

Swap meet? Garage sale?

Yes, maybe the flea market is good. If they don't sell, I'd just give them away.

BTW, I don't know if anyone else suffers this problem , but my LCD screen was really dirty. I'm afraid to use any cleaner on it because it might damage the screen. I just wiped it with a damp cloth and it looks good as new. Wow, I can see again.

Studded snow tires are great... If I didn't already have 4, I would buy yours regardless of size.

Ebay?

Sell them to a tire store.
They will resell them as used.

Im having the same problem. I have 4 mounted, 16" Blizzaks and i barely get replies from Craigslist. The tires have <1000 miles on them too.

BTW, im in boston and we just had some flurries today. Im going to repost when i get home.

Dont even need to do local pickup. UPS will ship tires.
