Fair price for a 27 hole USED rim from a proprietary wheel?
Is $25 about right?
Not a typo. 27 holes, for triplet lacing.
Is it dishonest to even try and sell a used rim? I just want to get rid of it. Having 2nd thoughts this morning..

...it's not dishonest, but I'd rather be beaten with a softball bat than deal with the crap responses you get on CL for 25 bucks.
I give all my used but reusable rims to the bike co-op here for that very reason.

I'll give this away for free to a fellow forum member!
Part of the reason I'm hung up on throwing it away is because of what CliffordK said: I know this could be a fun build for someone.
FWIW i havn't gotten any responses on craigslist. It is christmas/new-years tho..

That’s a fairly modern rim and lots were sold. There’s someone out there who has cracked or lipped one of these identical rims and is bemoaning the thought of having to buy a new wheelset. IMO, that’s the only reason to sell this rim vs trash. You might even offer it for free as a Good Samaritan gesture.

Selling cars with little value on CL is something I will NEVER do again. That is a world of pain on a much higher level.

I have my best luck selling semi exotic vintage or orphan parts right here on the Bike forums I would say list it here in the vintage for sale for $25 plus shipping or local pic up. Very good chance that someone will want it need it to complete a special build.
