[Closed] Fox 36's, cracked dropouts, should I sell them?

Obviously making the buyer aware. I've just had an enquiry about some Talas R's I'm selling, and looked closely at the dropouts where the pinch bolts screw in- there's a small but noticeable crack in each. Spoke to mojo, who say new lowers are £129. They also say that they've not had any instances of failure where the axle has come out of the dropouts.

Should I sell these 'buyer beware' or toss them in the skip. If so, what are they worth (there's a small scuff on one stantion)?

You can toss them in my skip if you like. 😉

If new lowers are only £129, then surely they are worth something?

stanchions are stuffed as well with the scuff on them.

Have written proof of the buyer beware bit.
Mate of mine was successfully sued for selling a SH bike on which the brakes apparently failed, causing injury. 😯

yeah, but doesn't seem to have damaged the seal yet. I know it will eventually.

sell them as "spares and repairs"

wont get much, but will get more than tossing them in a skip.

someone may be looking for a set of internals?
