Nitroholic Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 The true worth of ANY object is what someone is prepared to pay. Simple as that. If this is what you want....then it's worth whatever he can get. If you don't want it .... then it's maybe £400 to a casual basher. Who would ruin it. There are some RCs that sell for ridiculous money, like the unbuilt Tamiya original releases. People pay thousands for an RC tehy can never use and can never even build. It can only stay in parts in the box. But people DO buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres not a lot more to say, it's worth what someone will pay, and he might have 2k in it if that's his thing so using my logic you have no business selling you need to remember why you built it. to me it has a market value of about £4-450 but I wouldn't pay that i have approaching 40 models now and obviously not all are used all the time but the resale value is not enough to make me sell, if I did sell i would buy very similar back at new prices so what's the point? We are all different and I know you like to trade and change your cars, but I have been burnt buying used cars off trusted members and I now hate second hand cars. Guns posted earlier that he has had 4 savage flux cars in the past, I just think why not buy one and keep it! people very often post on here, for sale due to lack of use!!! What a lame excuse they don't eat anything and they are worth a lot less than when you bought it! anyway that's my take/rant on it please excuse the long winded nature I've just got in from the pub and I'm very merry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) he wanted atleast £750.........I did look into what he had there as a sum of parts...and I`m well aware its a small fortune.....but still......I like to see his reserve set at 750 and see what it gets to on ebay....I did tell him to do this.....I reckon 400-500 max......if that....told him he`d get his 750 if he broke it up.....

RCbutcher Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I saw some super max or special emaxx stuff sell recently the prices was jaw dropping and still rising. Tug and guns will have valuable info on this I'm sure. If that erevo is 400 then it's a bargain I will guess. But I'm thinking it's more like 700 lol. Just some plates and tat for the special traxxas I saw the other week was about £70 I built a nitro revo 3.3 pretty well and had a fortune into it. Sadly only got 300 back which I know was still very good money on a used rc. I was trying for 350 but got haggled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lame excuse they don't eat anything and they are worth a lot less than when you bought it! anyway that's my take/rant on it please excuse the long winded nature I've just got in from the pub and I'm very merry Agree and disagree. First of all, this is my "hobby", it costs me money. Its something I spend my expendable income on after all my boring bills and living expenses are paid. Its not an additional income. Im not doing this to gain money. I could invest my expendable income far more sensibly than that, for a decent return if that was what was required, but I dont. Im far happier building them up, working on them, searching for parts and upgrading them than I am using them. Obviously, I do use them (or Did, I dont have a runner at the mo) but Id happily buy a kit and build it up with no intention of running it. I did have 4 Fluxes youre correct. But only one was ever purchased brand new as a Savage Flux HP. I had a Savage .21 that I converted to FULL Flux spec, a Savage XL Nitro I converted to XL Flux Spec, and a Alphastar 2350 that ended up as a Flux XL. Effectively, I probably spent more than buying 4x Flux Hp's at £600 a pop, but wheres the fun in that. I too had a collection, not quite as big as your 40, but closer to 15 Runners. I sold everything, right to my soldering iron and pit towel to leave the hobby completely, and put the money into a modified Civic Type R , another waste of money hobby. Im back this time, because an ex Moderator from here (Garry) posted a lovely pic of the HPI Jumpshot on facebook. I came on to check it out, and here we are. The money doesn't bother me. Im not by no means well off, but as soon as you start worrying about resale value or depreciation, it stops been a hobby. IF losing money was a concern, Id be on "Trading Stock Forums" not this one. Im trading the financial loss of selling, for the experience of been on here showing pictures, wrenching on my buggy etc, and to me, its worth it. Id be perfectly fine with been the dude in the E Revo advert. Building a truck to my specification and selling it for over a grand loss. ID be fine with that, cause Ive had the experience of planning and building that up.Lets say EVSSV buys it for £500, and Ive lost £1500. He is probably happy cause he has saved £1500, but Id be thinking, he has missed out on all the fun of planning and building that just to save some money, and all he is going to do is run it up and and down etc. Different outlooks I guess.

It probably is "worth" £700, but he wont get £500 for it. If you expect to get your money back buying brand new modified parts and fitting them, just like with real cars, you're in for a shock. Supermaxx stuff is an anomolly. They were extremely high quality parts, made in very limited runs, some not avaliable any more so seem to have held their value, if not increased, but that is no the norm. I lost a fortune (way into 4 figures) on my UE SuperMaxx when I sold it in 2004, today, with that spec, if I split it Id probably get my money back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
