They need a re-paint, hardware, and pads . Is the mileage known?
What do you think is a reasonable offer? I dont want to lowball. Lets work something out.

Re-paint, yes. To be honest, they are a wear and tear item. Paint will never be perfect. Hardware, none. I am trying to source the anti-rattle clip and pins. Pads, none. Would you want to run the stock pads? Would you want to run a used pad? Personally, I'd rather just go buy a whole new set of pads. Mileage, 30k.
People on ebay are selling just the front calipers with accessories for $600. People on NASIOC are selling the front calipers in the same range, maybe a little less.

Not to be a dick or anything, but you picked these up for next to nothing. To each is own if you want to turn these around to make a profit, but I would think that isn't what i-club is for, thus why there is craigslist.

lolvtec, I knew you have been eyeballing STi Brembo's. I knew that you had an idea what the ballpark for them were. And if you didn't, you could of easily gone onto I-Club/NASIOC/ebay and found out. I knew that you were eyeballing this thread, where the going price of the calipers were $250.

When you did research on these calipers, you would of found out that the asking price was well below market and that the calipers were priced to sell quickly. When you offered $150 and $200, you knew you were lowballing me. No offense or anything, but I don't think you could even get a set of Subaru 4 pots for that cheap. What makes you think you could get Brembo's?

No more bs. $400 firm. No clips. No pins. No accessories.

Well maybe back in the good 'ol USSR of yore you wouldn't, but this is 'Merica and if Kevin has a buyer who's willing to pay who are you to regulate how much he sells his used parts for? He can ask all day and at the end of it if there's someone who will pay for it then great.

I said make me a reasonable offer. Not bend me over and **** me up the ***! Please. Enlighten me. What is I-Club really about? Educate me. I don't recall anywhere in this thread where I threw out a counter offer. The only thing about I stated was that a set of front calipers with accessories off of ebay or NASIOC ran about $600. And if you think paying more than $200 for these calipers is too much... If you think losing money is what I-Club is about... then you are a dumbass.

Nice attitude! Maybe if you listed the price from the get go we would have saved a page worth of posts in this thread.

He wasn't selling them with hardware. I bought the Brembo's from him. And it wasn't for $200. It was $250.

It's definitely not my place to tell you what to do, and that's not what I was trying to do. I don't know the situation, but will say it as I see it. You bought these from the original seller for $250 because I assume you wanted to put these on your L. For some reason, which I have little knowledge on, whether that be because you simply wanted to resell them from the beginning or the setup would not work for what you needed, which I assume the second scenario because I saw you trying to source hardware to mount these up, landed you in this position now when you are reselling them. Again I apologize if you thought I was telling you how to sell your product, but in my own mind it is pretty damn "low" of you to turn around and almost double the original price of these, when someone who could have actually used them from the get-go and would have only paid the $250. There is nothing legally wrong with what your doing, but seems immoral to me, and a really low move. That is all.
