Default 300zx brakes

I don't know anymore where to post stuff in the Nissan section so I figured I'd start here and if it doesn't go here a mod will move it.

I have a friend w/ a 91 Z32TT that upgraded to the rotora 14in brake kit. Knowing he had the 30mm aluminum ones I asked if I could get them from him. He's a really nice guy and was like sure here ya go. and handed them to me in the rotora box and said Merry Christmas... I was like whoa wait how much do I owe you for these, the next thing out of his mouth was what really shocked me. "I don't know you come up with a price and just pay me whatever you think is fair.

So my question is this, he gave me all 4 calipers, and all the lines that go with them, what is the common price of these?

For mega used calipers, with used pads, no rotors, and unuseable lines, I usually pay $50 a pair. Might not sound like much, but once you put new decent pads with shim kit, conversion lines and rotors on it, you'll be closer to that quoted $350 out of pocket total.

^ junkyard?

Op: The 350ish I guestimated earlier was for a set of all 4 with all the hardware in excellent condition. If they are ragged out and need to be rebuilt then that price adjusts accordingly.

Thanks for the input guys, they're actually in what appears to be really good condition I don't know if you can tell condition by pics but I'll post some. They were working on his car he said he finished fully building his suspension that brakes were his next priority so he bought the rotora kit.

^ check the seals around the pistons on the inside of the calipers, also check the calipers for warping.
