How is it worth anyone's time to sell broken parts for $5?

I love those trucks. They were too lazy to change the description too.

That looks like a jconcepts gt body. Sick paint job too. I am almost tempted to call them, but I already blew out the rc budget for the month. :x

I would be suspicious of ads like that. I have heard a few stories about people meeting up to sell goods and the buyer just grabs whats for sale and runs.

Cell phones, jewellery, small electronics. Be careful... An RC vehicle would not be much harder to grab I assume.

It's worth "like $1500" but I'll take $75.

Tamiya Porsche 959 Radio Controlled R/C car - $75 (Prior Lake)


Here is a classic with the coveted rare Rothman's sticker and other decals (unused). The car is in rough shape and was crashed years ago and something broke and it wouldn't move after. There are many many spare parts. Everything goes with this car !! I know these are worth alot in good shape....like 15OO bucks. I also know the Rothman's decal is a rarity. I just want it gone and to a good home.

75 USD is okay for the Porsche but the 1500 is going to take him a while :)

If you look closely, it's actually 15 with two Oh's, not zeroes, so that could change everything. :mrgreen:

This guy probably watched the youtube howto video on scoring RC10's at yard sales and making HUGE bucks on fleabay.

I've never been to "anywere" though, not sure if my RC10's are worth more there to meet his "right price".

Kinda funny. Must have fallen out of a truck or something. I know that highway well because everytime we're on it I ask my wife "What highway are we on again?" to which she always rolls her eyes and replies :roll: "69". :mrgreen:
