I thought this was a typo on the price the first time I saw it, but it's been re-listed a dozen times or so. I doubt anyone would ever buy a collection for that price, but I'd be curious to see if he really has that much or if he's just a nutjob...

Around here the pics he posted probably consist of his entire collection and he still wants 100K. I've seen very few even acceptable prices around here. I pretty much only look out of morbid curiosity. :twisted:

I think you should toss him an offer like $50k in pennies and IOU's.

Everything is on facebook for the RC stuff it seems. I see reasonable stuff all day on the trade pages.

These are REALLY fast rc cars. They just aren't sure which of them still work, but they're worth $450 apparently...

$150 for some beat motors seems optimistic. I could see if they were all new.
