Cheap PP calipers from 2010

If anyone out there is interested in getting or replacing brake calipers for their car, there is a sale on eBay here for set of new (used less than 200km) red ones here.
http://cgi.ebay.de/Bremssattel-C63-A...e_Zubeh%C3%B6r

Reason for sale is he is getting silver calipers - guess he did not like red on his car. Starting price is 600 Euro = $768.00 USD which is cheap for sure. No bids on this yet so they be had for cheap. Or reach out to the seller and see if you can close the deal out direct. They are from 2010 so you should double check to see if they will work on pre-2010 PP cars if you are interested.

I'm sure a body shop can paint those calipers and leave the AMG words untouched.

I have seen shops repaint the calipers and then used a sticker to put the words/logo back. Unless you do it right, over time, it will look crapy.

I had my calipers done on my E55, they replaced the lettering, cleared over it. They were perfect for 3 years.

Guys, my point of the original post was not so much why the seller is selling them, but the case that of any member needed practically new PP calipers, these ones (if the real deal) could be had for a very good price instead of dealership price. What do a set of PP calipers cost these days? $2-3K? If someone was interested, they could drop this guy a line and make a deal where they could get a great deal.
