Kevin, put them on Ebay, and get maximum value. They are worth what someone pays you, and it's obvious they aren't valued here, so put them up on Ebay with a starting price you are comfortable with and a buy it now price you like. My suggestion: Start at $300 and buy it now $500. Charge $35 shipping. Shouldn't cost you more than $35 once the auction ends.

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.
Low in what sense? I posted $400 to punish all the lowballers out there. I had a reasonable price in mind. It was to cover the cost of the calipers, to cover the cost of gas and bridge toll to go get them, and to compensate me for my time to drive to the middle of SF and sit through and drive back. Mind you, that as soon as that Jacob posted these up, I sent a PM, made a phone-call, dropped everything, and drove my *** to SF, knowing full well that the pricing was extremely competitive. Oh wait, did I mention I had lunch with my parents, then started my journey.

There were plenty of other people that could of gotten these for that price. There were plenty of other people that were more conveniently located. And there were plenty of other people who could of showed up before me. But no one stepped up. I did, and I got them for a great price. A huge inconvenience to get them, but I got them.

If you guys wanted the Brembo's for ****ing $250, you guys should of gone out there and gotten them.

Thanks Gagan. You are right. I'll probably do that. It is evident that others here don't respect my time or work to acquire these.

Bump. Make me offers. Will consider reasonable offers before posting on Craigslist or EBay. Lowball offers will results in one of three things. 1. I ignore you. 2. I call you dumbass. or 3. I call you a dumbass and post it on I-Club so everyone else will then know you are a dumbass.

I'll do $50 if you go out on a date with Pactin and Jayson, and you have to hold both their hands at the same time. And some public displays of affection. Hehehe.

so you're charging the extra money for your inconvenience to get them? i drove down to LA to pick up my 2.5rs, that was a huge inconvenience. Does that mean i can sell it for almost double what i paid? I also had lunch with my mom a couple times on the way does that make it worth more too? I'm just trying to figure out why you're charging so much for calipers that don't have any clips in them or any hardware period.

That's right. You guys really don't get it do you? Even at $400 w/o the clips, whoever buys it is still getting a deal. Maybe you haven't looked around, but the going rate of the calipers alone, with the full set of accessories goes for a helluva lot more. I was ready to let it go for less than $400 until the babies in this thread start *****ing about the price and the ethics and wah wah wah wah.

How about I offer you $500 for your RS? $500, no? How about $1000? Even if you got your car for half of the market price, there is no way in hell you sell it less than what you paid for. And you wouldn't sell it for a lot less than market. You might hook it up, but you wouldn't sell it at a steal of a price. Because it ain't ****ing worth it. There's some mother****ing context for you.
