Turbo brake values? Looking for advice, not an ad post

I replaced my 4 piston front brakes with the OEM big red six piston calipers and cross-drilled rotors. I've been looking to release the front OEM 4 pistons and rotors to the public. The brakes are in perfect condition and came off my 2002 996 X-50 with 13,000 miles on it.

The market's not great (sucks) I know. I've had them on E-Bay all week without a single bite or bid. There's only one day left. "Buy it now" is $850 and asking price is listed as $950 OBO. Is the market so bad I should just pull them off and hold them or have I just not found the right person yet? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jeff

You do not have my motivation quite right in this case. You may have noticed I asked if I should just shelve the sale--I am not in a hurry to sell them. I did not include a link to the sales site--I was simply asking for advice. Thanks for the help in at least pointing out how many posts I had. jaj

great that someone is taking the time and interest to make sure correct forum protocol is followed. Now if someone could take the same amount of energy or less to give me some advice.

Turbohead is just really niceTurbohead is just really niceTurbohead is just really niceTurbohead is just really nice
i think the issue is that unlike other OEM calipers these only fit 996 TT and C4S
with out major modifications .So when we upgrade there are lots around and not much demand.

That said i might be interested in your rears.
PM me please.
thanks
Elliot

I gave mine away if that gives you any idea of how much I thought they were worth.

any Jeff, Steven is right.
