Hmmmm.... they REALLY weren't intended to be sold on at a (substantial) profit. Very bad form Neil - there are SM/Maseratitude members who could use them.

I know Neil had his own made up, but that does appear to be a pair of MAF's

To be fair the second link are the disks Neil had made before the group buy was done.

I have no problem in Neil selling his own manufactured disks as he pleases.
Selling on the SM set for a substantial profit just isn't in the spirit of the forum.

Front discs
£45 +VAT each

Rear discs
£40 +VAT each

So, £204 for a set of 4. NOT £240 for a pair of fronts...

Yah, found it on the second thread. Next batch will be marginally more costly, but still not that much.

Does appear, on the face of it, to be a tad un necessary

I agree it is clearly not in the spirit of why the forum got these made. I don't know whose fleabag account that is but it is poor judgement whoever bought these to sell for profit so I hope they withdraw them from fleabag and put them up on here for cost if they are not needed......that I will applaud.

It's Neil Surrey Labs own account.

If so then let's wait and see if conscience pricks and he recognises the error. If he does not need them, someone on here will, even as a spare pair.
I myself have bought two full sets, every intention for brakes to outlast me probably! But if something terminal happens to marci and I don't need the 2nd pair, they will go on here at cost........come on NSL, get them withdrawn, you know you want to ;)

Extremely disappointing and seemingly a very selfish act. Waiting for a response/explanation from Neil Surrey Labs.

They'll be earlier than expected - October. Just waiting on confirmation of delivery dates.

Excellent! A few French chaps asking for updates on delivery...

...and I assume you have no problem selling these to Steph's new French forum? They've asked me to set up a purchase scheme there, as on the other forum.

Very happy to include owners outside of the UK as before - group buys need supporters, so more is better! There is already a thread for the 3rd group buy, so feel free to add their names to it.
