So the set I picked up for $130 must have been a good buy. These are selling for, normally, $500. And my thinking that I could spend $200 on yours making them in "good condition" LOL > i want 1100 for them. They are in good condition and are on a car at the > moment. [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >>>> >>>>Ben Quick if you can get em for 130 then go and buy em.

And my thinking that I could > spend $200 on yours making them in "good condition" Well used Cooper S disks were selling for around Au$600 a set in 1990 when I bought my first set. I sold them, even more used, in 1996 for $600. >>>i want 1100 for them. They are in good condition > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > when I bought my first set.

I watch the tradingpost too. they never come up at $500 $1200 odd yes but never $500 Are u in sydney? Aaron > >>>i want 1100 for them. They are in good condition > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > There are still a few available at $500 and they come up in the trading > post at that. Can get you onto a set $500/550 northern NSW Lismore. which I think said included a booster the flat sided one for the mini. > I watch the tradingpost too. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >>There are still a few available at $500 and they come up in the trading >>post at that. O' BTW the main bits are the uprights, hubs, calipers and dust covers. the rest will need replacement. ie CV's, rotors, pistons,Pads,seals,ball joints, bearings. Parts that old aint new and mint not even at $1100.00 ( the $100 must be the GST component which they are liable to pay or withheld. LOL) Think someone did have sets at $2000 new Mini King or Karcraft????? Seen at a swap meet some new uprights recently cheap so thats a starting point. > I watch the tradingpost too. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >>There are still a few available at $500 and they come up in the trading >>post at that. Well have a look at this then and do the conversion. Like I said a local dealer will have the same stuff. http://www.minispares.com/InvDetail.cfm?Item=C%2DAJJ4028 Makes the $1100 look expensive! and spending at least $200 in parts on yours to make them serviceable and safe. (I for one would not just bolt them on as is.) As i said if you dont want them dont buy em > Well have a look at this then and do the conversion. Like I said a local > dealer will have the same stuff. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > yours to make them serviceable and safe. (I for one would not just bolt > them on as is.) I advertise cooper s disc brakes for $1200 and i have people falling over each other too buy them. So its generally the price in Sydney, they are $1900 2nd hand at most mini spares places in Sydney.

Thats about Au$1000. Plus freight. Plus import duties and GST. Plus the wait and the hassles if they send you wrong parts or bad parts, and that does happen, take it from me. If it were possible to buy a single complete new set from a UK retailer and land them in Australia for under about $1500 then you can be quite certain that the local Mini specialists would be sourcing them wholesale in the UK and importing in containers with the other stuff they buy, far cheaper than postage, and they would be selling them here at a tidy profit for something like Au$2k. So - are they? When someone offers something for sale for more than you think it is worth, you can always walk away. Doubtless other Aussies in the group will be interested to hear what your 445 pound brakes actually cost, landed in Australia. But equally, if someone doesn't like your offer, they can always say no and wait for someone else to come along. They're under no obligation to drop their price for you just because you think it's unreasonable. That is approximately 1500 - 1600 Australian$ plus postage. It makes 1100 US$ look expensive.

(I for one would not just bolt > them on as is.) I am only going to say this once more. ops you obvlously think that you can get them from somewhere else for less, why bother us with your insesant banter. go get them from elsewhere, the ones i have are for sale at $1100, which is less than what you would pay for a set of disks from a dealer, less than what you would pay from a guy off the street and less than what you would pay for a set of disks from the UK, shipped, which by the way will be a set of 8.5's which wont fit under 10 inch wheels. So go buy your brakes and leave us all be. everyone else on here knows how much there worth. > That is approximately 1500 - 1600 Australian$ plus postage. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > yours to make them serviceable and safe.

Thats $1100 australian still cheaper and will fit under 10's > That is approximately 1500 - 1600 Australian$ plus postage. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > yours to make them serviceable and safe. (I for one would not just bolt > > them on as is.) 180 pounds for postage to aus so about 450 aud not even worth thinking about > That is approximately 1500 - 1600 Australian$ plus postage. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > yours to make them serviceable and safe.
