You'd definitely need to know more about their provenance.

Go on then. Who is going to a £2k bank transfer to a new ebayer in Asia?

Anyone? I dare you.

No feedback, new ebayer, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

With items like this I hope the person would have to go take a look at them before purchase.

If it's genuine, someone's going to be laughing, even at the full price.

But it's not. Or they're stolen.

Assuming these would also fit a 997...

Might be a reasonable deal, but would worry about all the above.. Only way I would ever part with that kinda cash, if after thoroughly inspecting to validate condition, and offering cash on collection.

Ask Majordad if he can get someone to look at them - he's not exactly next door but at least he's on the right land mass. smile

They are Ceramics for sure... like everyone else mentioned, new ebayer with no feedback, the only way I would buy these (if I were looking for a set) would be in person.

Hey Steve, agree as well. If they are good then it is a bargain. We buy stuff from LA Dismantlers and they currently have

and

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-911-997-Twin-Tur...

take a look at the prices. And then you need to add the duty.

Location of brakes is Londonderry - so NI. Not yet in Asia.
Thought to mention it; but newbie for sure.
