    I'm wondering if it would be worth pulling f-body brakes for resale.

    If I got them from my local u-pull, I could have an entire set (2 calipers, 2 brackets, and 4 bolts) for under $40.

    After all the running around and shipping, would there still be enough profit to make it worth my effort ? What's the going rate for a complete set of f-body's shipped?

    Seems like I could get 1 set per week.

    Well if you don't rebuild them, maybe you could make a profit. I can get reman f-bodies for $80 before tax and that price includes the core. I kid you not

    For both sides and brackets? These would also have the banjo bolts. I would just cut the house. I'm not trying to get rich, it's just that I'm usually there once a week anyhow.

    Yes but does that include the core?

    I was hoping to snag a set next Saturday for 20.00. 1/2 off time of the month. But its the 4th . Last half off day I was on vacation. Why does 1/2 off day elude me?
