I'll verify that. He offered it to me to help my B'in Law with his ever troublesome E-maxx. I thought it was a fair price - but at the time it was still more than my B'in Law had to spend. I didnt see how much you officially put it for sale for, but I'm sure it wasn't much different that the price you told me.

Just a random thought here. I've always been frustrated with the pricing we typically see on used RC stuff. On one hand I think the typical age group that we have in the hobby doesnt have enough real life experience to understand depreciation, and that same age group jumps on used equipment just because they can save 10-20% over new. This keeps the used values somewhat higher than they really should be.

I have to agree with that as well. Some items just about sell for what it costs new with a good coupon code from Tower. I just don't understand why people pay that much for some used items.

On the other hand, as a seller, it's frustrating knowing that you're sitting on a vehicle that was in the $4-500 range new, has over $100 in upgrade parts on it and an electric conversion kit and it's getting offers on rctech of less than $100 shipped. I have to believe that some of the things going on in the used market right now are based on the economic situation.
