RCMatsu 2 Posted May 16, 2020 I recently required a near mint original lunchbox and paid $30 for it on let go. Has original manual speed control in mint shape. Has chrome wheels. The body is a light pearl purple with DARE logo and says To Keep Cops Off Donuts. There are some light cracks and the a frame pillar on drivers side is missing. I can fix it with a mold, crazy glue and baking soda. Has anyone seen this body before. It looks factory. Also thinking of selling after I fix the body. What do you think it’s worth? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobbi1977 1606 Posted May 16, 2020 TBH the value will not be much more than the time and money you put in to it. Have fun stripping and rebuilding, it might lead to more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark_C 196 Posted May 16, 2020 To be honest, its probably not worth taking the time to try and fix that shell, they are very cheap to replace, a black one is £10 in the UK. Edit: oh and it mostly certainly isn't "factory" whatever that means - its just a regular body that someone painted and then smashed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H22A4 66 Posted May 16, 2020 I wouldn’t call it near mint given the damage described. If you think you can sell it for $50, do so! You clearly have a value in mind as to what it’s worth since you think you scored a deal at $30. What do you think it’s worth? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCMatsu 2 Posted May 17, 2020 I couldn’t show all the pics. The body is the only thing that has issues. Everything else is like new. Even the body paint is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H22A4 66 Posted May 17, 2020 New Lunchbox kits go for between $95 to $128USD and those are in super mint condition. That’s with ESC too. If you can get $100 or more, I’d be flipping that too! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
