I was also thinking of putting an offer in for these, but when I (read Mega) priced up a new set of pads (£200 ish), discs (£400), briaded hoses (if they weren't supplied!) and the special fluid... a 2nd hand set with 17,000m on should IMO be around £300-400 because of the expense in replacing the used parts!
As you pointed out, this brings it up to the price of a new set (£800 + £600) which is a no-brainer really. Nearly new 2nd hand price with new discs and pads should be about £900...
As Swede rightly says, if you are buying 2nd hand then it should really be a bargain otherwise just buy new!! In this case, 2nd hand would be the price of used calipers (as these shouldn't need replacing, the other parts would) which (IMO) would be around the £300 mark and I bet they would rather keep them than sell them for £300!!
Just my opinion hence why I'm going to buy new.
