Rodo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Hi, I feel bad being a new member and the first post is about selling items, but it is what it is. I've not been active on the hobby for a few years now and have decided my RC days are over. Too many other hobbies eating my cash. I'm selling everything on and have already got shot of a transmitter, HPI Savage and I have an idea of prices for my Baja 5B SS and Associated RC8.2e Factory, however I am struggling with pricing for a project I started and like all projects, never got round to completing. It was a build from scratch of a Baja 5B but with the Kraken RC TSK-b Class 1 body. I have some bits from said project and would really appreciate some advise on potential value and if it is better selling as a whole or for parts. I've listed below the main parts that I have. Everything is pretty much new, with just being taken out the packagaing an assembled. The only issue is one of the bolts on the modified chassis seems to be stripped, not sure aluminium was a good idea and to be honest, I would probably have removed these and just used a nyloc nut.

Nitroholic Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 These things are only worth what someone is prepared to pay. And that will probably be a little under half what you paid if you are lucky. Expect a string of lowball offers. Seriously...I would not sell a part done project if I was looking for best returns. I would take it apart, and sell the parts. Otherwise, you got to find someone who agrees with your choice of parts for the project, and fancies picking up and finishing the project...which probably is going to soak up another big pile of cash. Especially if the parts have little or no use. That way, you have a much larger potential market for the upgrade parts and the stock spares. And the reason I predict loads of lowball offers, will be the folk trying to buy your project to make a profit parting it out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodo Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 @NitroholicThank you for your reply. I does make sense parting it, it would be the same with a real car, so I think I would look to do that. Half the price of what I paid would be a fair return I think. Appreciate your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
