weeksy mate, put a wanted up for some and put on it you will pay £200. i am sure that will tempt someone into parting with a set.  :daumenhoch:

sad thing is somebody desperate will end up buying them, he's prepared to sit on them for months as he isnt desperate to sell, so he can make up his own prices...  they will be up to £500  in maybe a year or so...
i would just sit back and wait till they come up on ebay....

And the reason he's not desperate to sell them is that he only paid maybe 10% of the for sale price tops, with margins lke that you can sit on them for a very long time  :daumenhoch:

10%  :shocked: a lot less than that Marty, I've brought a few sets off him a few years ago for £45, so I would say he was getting them for around £12 a set.

if people stop buy them at 200 quid then the price would come down ,suppy and demand ,but you got to be pretty mad to pay 200 for a set

But 200 quid will still not get me a new set fella, so that is clearly not 'market' price.

And it's a lot better on the wallet than 400 quid dude

Somewhere somewhere wants to sell me their mint NOS brakes, they just don't know it yet  :LolLolLolLol:

Cheers
