Any takers?

Not trying to be horrible matey but you're asking a lot of money for it.

I think you'll be lucky to find a taker even at half your asking price but fingers crossed

Again dont want to sound out of order but I agree with stretch, especially since it needs a rebuild

Really ... The caliper is fine seals not needed just chucking them in as spares... The MC does need a rebuild so hence including that kit... I guess if £50 is offered I'd consider it

Yeah, I've broken quite a few bikes, fair play not recently, but to be honest if you look around you can buy refurbed ones for about £50, ok that's just a caliper and you are also including the parts, the reservoir and M/C but then people will want to pay less if they do the work themselves.

It may sound daft as it's only a couple of years old but it's just a rear caliper really and to be honest your original price is around the max I would pay for a full set of front brakes. (calipers, lines, M/C and reservoir) unless they were special or immaculate, in which case, I wouldn't buy them myself anyway

The best place for it is ebay, either bang it on a 99p no reserve, but then it's a gamble it could go for a quid or it could go for alot more than £50, it just depends on who is looking, or bang it on as an auction with a buy it now of about £70 and see what happens.

People on ebay seem to have forgotten how to barter though, it's full of idiots who don't understand that the seller asks for what they would LIKE to get for an item, the buyer proposed the cheekiest they think they might be able to get away with then there are 3 or 4 back and forths and you settle in the middle.

These days people offer you £1k for a £3.5k item and then never respond when you say "You'll have to do better" this is the reason poor Squirrell_Hunter has no hair left
