so say callipers/brackets /hoses new are circa £1500 - id say they are worth about £1000k maybe £1200 if serviced

You can still get the front 6-pot fit for £2199 at a few places...

There are a set of these on ebay at the moment and been there for a while with a buy it now of £1200 and the disc's are not even lipped..

I wouldn't pay more than 6-700 for these as like everyone's said by the time you factor in a service, new disc's, pads and lines then your looking at £1000 on top of buying the used callipers... and it would have to be a substantial saving over buying them new to go through the hassle of sourcing all the new parts and sending them off to be serviced etc...

Just my 2p

^^^^ This. Discs 500, pads 250, bolts 25, refurb 130 + 25 for every piston that needs replacing, fluid 25 and add return postage say 50. That's approx £1000 + the price of calipers / brackets / hoses / bolts / shims and washers.

In that case FT I guess you'll be forking out for a brand new set then.
