Barry,

OnYou clearly indicated that your auction was for local pickup only. If the buyer wants it shipped you definitely need to cover your costs. Four wheels for $54! At the local pick and pull I had to pay $38 for one wheeel, with a tire I didn't want.

Please don't let one bad customer ruin it for everybody. Plus nothing says you have to comply with unreasonable demands either.

Cheers
