FS: 2004 reworked heads - $275 - Las Vegas, NV

Hello, I'm selling 2 heads from my 2004 Maxima. I bought my Maxima with 57k miles on it and it had a coolant leak I didn't spot. My wife drove the car and the engine overheated, resulting in a blown headgasket. The shop removed the entire engine/front subframe out of the car to work on it. They removed the heads and sent them off to get inspected for warping etc. While the heads were out, I asked them to redo the valve seals, for which they got a charge back from the machine shop for $400 for doing this work. While the heads were out getting worked on, my shop spotted a hairline crack on one of the cylinder walls of the block. I bought a motor off of ebay and they threw that motor into the car. They wanted to charge me a bajillion more dollars to put the reworked heads onto the ebay motor I bought, and I couldn't afford to do it. Sadly, the ebay motors heads were crap, the ebay motor had over 90k miles on it and you could hear the valves knocking away indicating the valve seals were blown. I ended up selling the car but the shop let me keep the reworked heads since they had already charged me for the labor on the heads (to have them checked/balanced, new valve seals and I don't know what else they did to it for a bit over $400). The $400 charge was from the machine shop to my mechanics shop, so my shop would have probably marked it up even more if they hadn't already tore me a new one. Anyway, here's a 4 minute video that shows one of the heads and has me telling this same story over again. I'm in Las Vegas. I'm willing to ship if the buyer covers the cost of shipping. Asking $275.

NOTE: In the video I say they "balanced" the heads, lol, I obviously have no clue what I'm talking about, I'm not an engine guy. I do know a bit about suspension though
