2 Sets Of Shimano DP Brakes

I picked up this set Shimano 105 DP brakes on eBay at the beginning of this week. Delivery was fast and price was right for the listing description:

"Condition: New other (see details)
“see photos and read description”

"In good condition with a few light marks as shown." NOT NEW! NOT EVEN CLOSE! 1mm WORN OFF THE PADS!

Photos were misleading. Brakes are well used but will clean up. I left POSITIVE feed back but stated they were not new. I'm considering sending a PM to the seller to request a partial refund.

After I paid for those 105 brakes, I found a set of Shimano Ultegra DP brakes for almost half the price (dirt cheap). I bought those too. They arrived at the same time and with a little clean up and new pads (which I have)they are the ones that will be going on the bike.

So I have 2 sets of DP Shimano brakes and all is well...
