If they're in good nick, probably £300-400 for the set. Hard to source nowadays so you should be able to find ready buyers (assuming you're selling).

A mate of mine got a set of old stock bilsteins on ebay last year, he paid 400 for all four. They were worth 1600 back in the day.

They are good, very good. I know because I had a set. But certainly not worth £1600

Depends on mileage and condition.

I certainly wouldn't take less than £400 for mine if I sold them, but they've only done about 30k.

It really comes down to their condition.
They quite often appear on ebay and usually sell for anywhere between 2 and 3 hundred.
There was a set on there recently in pretty good shape with the blue springs, they made £250 for example.

Depends what you pay for them I guess.

Blyth, utter hole and smack rat central that it is, is about a 30 minute drive from me, might go and offer the seller £50 for them.

lol, nice! I've emailed him to see what he's after for them. I'd like a set of shocks to replace my standard UK shocks.
