I was thinking about this earlier, about what a part out would be worth on eBay.

At first I bet that ESC would bring $200ish, and probably settle to $120-150 depending on who wants it and how badly. The motor is a tweaked version of the old 1717 so I'd personally give $200+ for it. Surely the Rx/Tx will be worth something since they're most-likely going to introduce that technology into more vehicles over the coming months, right? Each lipo should fetch $30-$50, then you've still got whatever else I haven't thought of plus the roller. Rollers would probably start out at $300-$400 then settle down to $200-$250 once enough of them hit the market.

im betting your prices are pretty low, i guess we will see, im betting rollers go for 500ish for the first few months and radio's will be over $100

I think you're right, I was keeping it pretty conservative but there's surely money to be made parting them out. At least for the first 3-6 months.
