The £75 set is back up for £100, so the collection only appears to be an issue. One spare in Bristol for £55 isn't shifting either.
Virgos were being offered for £200-250 six months ago, but those sets have found a home eventually. I'm looking for a set, but not at current prices.

I didn't see the previous auction of these wheels:

... but I rather suspect the seller bid the £75 himself and then reported that the buyer didn't show up. They have been advertised again at a higher starting price, so the seller probably just decided he wanted a bit more. I've heard that is a common tactic with online auctions and saves paying extra to set a reserve.
Good fortune in your search for some Virgo wheels - they suit 240s very well indeed.
:-)
PS. I notice the seller doesn't mention they are Virgo wheels in the ad, so he probably isn't a Volvo bloke. Not many folk looking for Virgo wheels would have found those in a search.
