Yeah, you are lucky. But the "I got it for $25 at the junkyard" isn't the same thing. Lots of people don't have time or access to junkyards and lots of other people do. I've bought entire cars to get sets of these wheels and then sold the cars. And I've got a bunch of them now and eventually they will be sold off but not for the price that the guy on ebay sold his for. It is WAY too much work to do that unless you are a) doing it for your own car or b) doing it for resale. Lots of car enthusiasts have more money than time, and their option is to buy on-line or through a forum or from someone like me who MAKES A LIVING going to junkyards and looking for the diamonds in the dirt to save them and make a profit from them.
