To be honest with you, I can't see anyone selling you a set knowing you are going to do that

fook that. Orphans around every once in a while.
You need:
(A) 1 'ordinary' suntour coaster tuff (non-graphite..... any colour will do) ,
(B) then one 2ndor later gen graphite --- like the one i posted the auction for (wel, we didn't know then ... that was Pre-Steve post ),
(C) then one foine shiney 1st generation (=Campy i thze strict sense).

A + B will mate and make the rear wheel of your future dream bike; C is its front wheel.

.... jesus christ, i'm relentless

Ignore Lamborghinikids prices, that's just a bit of money laundering through eBay.
