What's the date code? If fairly new maybe $700 for local pickup. Shipping will cost about $200 additional. Track day people like buying these used.

Tread wear (i.e., remaining depth), absence of any plugs/patches. and date code are keys in establishing the value of used tires.

Tread depth remaining in each of the major tread grooves determines wear. Miles not so much. A lot of bad wear can occur in 2300 miles of street driving. If these were the original tires on your car I imagine the date codes are somewhere between mid 206 and mid 2017. It depends on when the car was built. The tires are usually produced a few weeks before the car is assembled.

I have no way to measure tread depth....but if a gentleman who owned this car for 4 years. And only 2300 miles, never seen rain, or winter, I'm sure plenty of tread left...,

Not sure, but there's been a lot of thrash about Michelin OEM tire availability. The outcome of that was that the OEM tires are still available, under different part/item number(s), but in limited quantities (potentially due to production schedules and/or COVID-related shutdown/shipping impacts.) The A/S3+ could be similarly affected, or it could actually be phasing out in favor of the new A/S4. @Discount Tire is pretty responsive to questions like this.

The local Discount Tire is my go to, as they're usually less expensive, match competitor pricing when they're not, and offer a non-prorated road hazard warranty.

That means they were made in the 26th week of 2016, so they're a little over 4 years old. GLWS!

I'm seeing on auction site, these 335/25/20s are going for between $400-$500 for 2!

Is that legit pricing?

It can be, depending on condition...

If you can't get a accurate measurement of tread depth with a gauge, i would post some pictures of the tread. I bought a 2016 z06 with these tires and they were at the wear bars with just 9k miles.
