Byron, I respectfully disagree.

The wheels weren't worth even $75 to a guy with an interest in Hondas,
but were pure gold (and pure pleasure) to a man who had the vehicle to
match them up with. The guy dickered on price and ultimately met
Matt's negotiated offer because that's what they were worth to him. He
could have walked away, and Matt would be calling himself a dumba$$
under his breath the whole time he heaved those 28 lb anchors back
into his car. That's the risk Matt took, and he was rewarded.
