Ebay, C-List and Marketplace all had used examples for more than what they were new. Do these things ever sell or are folks too dumb to shop around? One quick look at the Traxxas website will net you a new one with radio gear for $160. Why would I want a used one for over $200? There is a Local classified listing I frequent.( not C-list or fb marketplace )I have found some ok deals on there from time to time. Right now, though, someone has a used Traxxas 2wd Slash, brushless for about what you can get a NEW 4x4 Slash. Same site someone else is selling a Clod Body kit ( not even a Chevy bowtie grill version) for $120. For just a hard body and trim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftyAl 164 Posted January 29, 2021 I have a soft spot for Super Hornets (was my first real RC and I have 2). I keep an eye out on ebay for parts etc and lately BIN prices for a used SH start around AUD$350. Crazy stuff indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saito2 6686 Posted January 29, 2021 This crafty fellow has this "rare" Parma Gravedigger body listed for $100(!) locally. Needless to say it hasn't sold for some time now. I can't imagine why. Who doesn't want a beat lexan body with a huge hole hacked in it? What a steal! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine why. Who doesn't want a beat lexan body with a huge hole hacked in it? What a steal! That POS has been on CL forever...unreal. I have a new 1/8 Parma Digger body in the bag with decals and I probably wouldn't even ask for that much. On the other side of the coin if you do actually have something nice that is worth the asking price people constantly lowball you. Have something that's worth $500, list it for $350 since you want it gone, and you get offers for $100...but they'll pick it up today! Not sure why picking something up today warrants a $200+ discount. I have so many spares I won't use and would gladly give them to someone that would appreciate them if they were local rather than trying to sell them. I prety much exclusively sell on Ebay due to low ballers and people I'd just rather not deal with. The fees are killer, but you do usually get a fair price when selling.

Wez-li 1790 Posted January 29, 2021 Ebay is basically a necessary evil, but you can find good deals, think I said on another thread, you just have to have to search and search, have your alerts set up, search, be ready and be lucky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
