lol... I just submitted a Best Offer of $132.50 plus his $20 shipping. I told him that this was the price being offerd at RC-monster.com

MTBikerTim 05.09.2008 03:21 AM

lol. I felt like writing him a message too but I though I had better not. He would probably report me or something.

Sammus 05.09.2008 07:20 AM

what a f*ing moron...

lutach 05.09.2008 09:33 AM

I don't even think that sentiment is strong enough.

glassdoctor 05.09.2008 02:14 PM

I hope nobody pays more than the going rate for any of these Ebay/RcTech listings.

Legitimate shops have them now and more are coming.

I do the same with the people trying to sell NIB Wii systems... I offer them $250 + ship. So far nobody has taken me up on it, LOL!!!!

TexasSP 05.09.2008 02:18 PM

What's funny, is that Wii's are constantly in stock at stores now. They may sell out, but new stock arrives weekly.

Little does he know but he's now an (un-paid) RC-Monster affiliate!!! :lol:

JeffEmbracedDC 05.09.2008 07:35 PM

his name is Steve Ludwig from Ormond Beach, Florida (pictured on the invoice). Anyone know him? We should all send him letters.

magman 05.09.2008 07:42 PM

That's what you call a markup!! Is he for real?

bdebde 05.10.2008 12:49 AM

I want what he's SMOKING!

As long as you don't buy it off him, he probably mark it up 3 times the price :lol:

I have some, just send the money to me (cash only) and I will have a bicycle courier bring it to you. Non sequential 5 dollar bills please.

tt-01 mamba 05.11.2008 11:34 AM

xd this is his reason for marking it up

Questions from other members

Question & Answer Answered On
Q: Do you realize that the retail price for this is $200? May-10-08
A: Yes I do. Do you realize that the preorder, the first run and the second run are already sold out. Next expected delivery date is in july.
Ask seller a question

glassdoctor 05.11.2008 11:36 AM

Second run is not sold out and it won't be July... this guy is full of @#$!

TexasSP 05.11.2008 11:44 AM

Maybe this idiot will get the point when it doesn't sell. The funny thing is that he might be able to get 200 for it if he sells it quickly, but within a few weeks he will be lucky to get the retail of 170 for it and most likely will have to settle for less.

tc3_racer_001 05.11.2008 05:36 PM

well, its worth a try aint it? like he gets it probably for 170 or less, then tries to sell it for more. $500 is EXTREME though. thats how much the one which supposedly got given out on april fools day would have gone for, with no one knowing the final release date.

but i think $300 would have been enough for someone to pay it, but not $500 + postage! (hope his markups arent just in the BIN, its $50 postage lololol)

DRIFT_BUGGY 05.11.2008 06:08 PM

Only a few yours to go on it and it has had 13 offers

azjc 05.11.2008 10:17 PM

$375 was the winning bid....

Poor guy, soon the combo will be availiable with the cc/neu motor and it will probably be cheaper than what he just paid for the esc alone :neutral:

skellyo 05.11.2008 10:26 PM

That's really sad what that guy spent on it. By the time he gets it, I should have both of mine that I paid $310 shipped for.

Duster_360 05.11.2008 10:29 PM

Just goes to show you there's plenty of DAs out there. This kinds of seller depend on them and some apparently do well.

DRIFT_BUGGY 05.11.2008 10:31 PM

Starting to get tempted to put mine up

Pdelcast 05.11.2008 10:33 PM

Hmmm, I do have a few engineering units laying around somewhere....

gixxer 05.11.2008 10:40 PM

wow, I have one on the way and no more 8th scale. wonder what I could get for it. :)

seriously I think the e-revo will be calling me and it will go in there. However if someone wanted to pay a crazy price (over retail) its all t theirs.

david lamontagn 05.11.2008 11:14 PM

I've just send it a message, and i'am sure that it'll not appreciated it:whistle:

The prices are dropping too one for $305 w/ free shipping and one for $250 w/ $6 shipping.

SunnyHouTX 05.14.2008 09:57 PM

The least of that is still about $100 more than what we paid at RC-M. Go Mike!

MTBikerTim 05.14.2008 09:58 PM

What a joke. I miss my MMM already though. Funny thing is there will be hobby stores selling the MMM for $450 in Australia when they finally do make it into stores.

SunnyHouTX 05.14.2008 10:01 PM

I wish I got mine already. Got to wait a couple of more weeks I guess, because I got in the second pre-order sale :oops:

sleebus.jones 05.14.2008 10:08 PM

Friend of mine got his preordered from castle, but he doesn't have a truck to run it in yet. I do. :) Just soldered it up, and dropped it in. FYI, you are going to need a BIG iron (60w min, I used 80w) to make up those 6.5mm bullets.

So this is in the flm emaxx pictured in my avy. Geared 19/66 with 6S A123. Ran pretty good, but the pack was brand new (1st run since I assembled) so it dumped quick. Put it back on the charger, geared up to 22/66. Cranked way down on the RRP slipper and hit it. Man, does this thing cook. Gearing estimate is 40+. The 6S1P pack was fine, no problems at all. I don't really see a need for 2P unless you need the runtime. Freakin amazing torque. Whips the wheels up with no problem. Temps after running: motor 160, esc 109, batts 120. A few more runs to wake up the pack should be good. Can't wait to get out to the bash spot with this.

Actually, can't wait to drop this in my Hyper 7!

SunnyHouTX 05.14.2008 10:18 PM

I've got a HB LSP-R (I bought the one that was being run on 12S at Track 21) waiting for my MMM, also my Rustler will get some Monster time on 5S to see if I can break 90mph.

Yep, no idea on why everything in Australia with RC is 4 - 5 times the price from America.
6 on ebay already + the 1 from last week, that is more than how many have failed
