Maybe dodgy, maybe not?

Looking for a Shimano caliper on eBay and saw this SLX M7100 and another one or maybe two XT calipers for sale from the same seller:-

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shimano-SLX-BR-M7100-Post-Mount-Rear-Brake-Caliper/293776902665?hash=item446677ca09:g:wiMAAOSw8vtfgsyC&LH_Auction=1

Taken off and replaced for flat mounts? Condition is new and purchased as part of a groupset? What two groupsets? Why would all the hoses be cut off them? Just made me question the ad is all. 🤔

    Chopped off a new bike somewhere and picture taken so you cant see marks from the mounting bolts.
    If i was dodgy thats exactly how I would advertise them.

    Never thought of that one Mully79, good point. 🤔 It has been fitted for sure. I certainly wouldn't buy it just in case. There are plenty of more legit looking options cheaper.

    Maybe give David a ring and ask him?

    He's swapped that caliper for a flat mount 3 times if you look at his other items :wink:
    I didn't think about it being a mobile mechanic, it's plausible.

    Lol! 🤣 Some good points being made but even more confused. I definitely ain't buying it Mate. 🙈

    Yeah, definitely. Managed to fix issue with my current caliper so not planning on buying a new one anytime soon but that one has too many question marks.

    There's loads to pick from and wouldn't buy anything if even a slight chance it was not above board. 😎
