Not if they are labeled 'sample' and have a value of $0/£0 scribbled on the delivery note !
(I have been asking people in the US to mark my purchases up like that for years ! - some oblige, others are less willing)
Still, even with the various taxes and delivery charge the price of a brand new set of Hed 3's is pretty close to this fellas set at £900. I would buy secondhand steel, secondhand alloy, but not secondhand carbon, it is just too hard to know the provenance, problems can remain pretty much hidden in carbon until total failure.
£450 and we'll talk ;)
