Trexdominator700l Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hi, I am new to the forum so HI , I was clearing some stuff out and found my old RC cars. They have some sentimental value but I will never use them again, into heli's and planes now. I have a CAT 2000 SE, Fireblade 2000, Tamiya Monster beetle (Black foot shell) , Tamiya Blackfoot. These were all working when they were put away and I have various spares. Boscat, Kyosho Outrage and a Tamiya Bearhawk good for parts, mostly there but not runners atm. My question is should I bin them or try to sell them or put them back in the box under my bed!? Is there even a market for these any more? They seem to good to bin but......

jamesp2812 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hi welcome to the forum. Most especially the tamiyas and kyoshos are saleable and still a buoyant market. If you search each model on ebay it will give you a rough idea of how much they are worth. Sent from my LLD-L31 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binning them is like throwing £150-£200 in the bin dude....... Bung it all on eBay as a joblot, starting bid £99, traders and hobbyists love lots like that, don't underestimate the value of vintage toys!!....cough...I mean hobbyists equipment:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 If you have time to spare, clean them up, get some detailed pics and stick them up for sale as individual lots, you might be quite surprised how much you make. original monster beetles and Blackfoot models make good money today (depending on condition etc.) those two could fetch £200. thing is how much is your time worth? I personally wouldn’t buy your lot and sell on for profit, traders or not, we’re supposed to be like minded folk helping each other out. And I don’t mean giving stuff away but not stiffing them either. and pics speak a thousand words. Get some stuck up and I’m sure between us we can give a honest value of each car. Hope this helps... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesp2812 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I agree with big gaz I'm a trader but would never want to rip anyone off. I think individual lots would fetch more and tamiyas are always desirable and highly collectible.

That's not the point I was making gaz, I was just meaning they're desirable....so instead of lobbing them in the bin, take a few pics and list it all as one lot....minimal effort and a guarantee of a decent return If op wanted to sell on individually he would of course get more money, but the profit difference vs. effort involved in 8-10 separate listings, postage, etc etc really isn't worth it imo Edited April 30, 2018 by Fly In My Soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trexdominator700l Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Cheers guys i really didnt think anyone still wanted the old ones. Ill post a few pics later on. I still have the boxes for some of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesp2812 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Always worth more with boxes. Sent from my LLD-L31 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But their are folk out here that would do someone over in a heartbeat. I recall a ex member that was like that.....(he wasn’t banned for that reason, I hasten to add). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trexdominator700l Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have a few spares for the monster beetle but they are in the loft with boxes, I'll get them down another night and see what spares I have. Appreciate any ideas / guestimates. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I might be interested in the black/beetle monster foot though mate look to be in reasonable condition too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesp2812 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I would guesstimate the cat 2000 at 150-200 wouldn't be unreasonable. Sent from my LLD-L31 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trexdominator700l Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Monster beetle. It is, works well etc I've had it since the early 90's I think if not earlier. Has to be my favorite. I'll get the boxes down and see what spares it has if you are interested in the spares?

Fly In My Soup Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Having assessed the Schumacher cat , as jamesp stated, its worth £150 on its own. These are rare to find in such good condition, especially those with the carbon fibre chassis and upgrades...great rc's! 2 hours ago, big gaz said: But their are folk out here that would do someone over in a heartbeat. @Trexdominator700l I'll give you a tenner for everything...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
