RC10 Graphite #6030

[RC_Racer1973]

I'm having a dilemma.....

I picked this kit up about a year ago, it's the RC10 Graphite , #6030. It is brand new in the box, still has the plastic wrap on it. My dilemma is, now that I've had it for a year, I don't know what to do with it....lol. I don't know if I should leave it as is, untouched, unopened, or open it and build it. I'm guessing it's more valuable if I leave it as is and sealed? Should I leave this one alone, and find a different one to use as a runner?

I often look at buying NIB kits that I owned in the 90s but i always think "what the hell am I gonna do with it?" just leave it there sitting in its box.

One dream would be to wrap them up and open them on xmas day!

Keep it sealed and/or sell it. Find yourself a runner

That's basically where I am at. I was looking for a decent "G" when I came across this one through a friend so I jumped on it. Now a year later after it still sits in the closet and I've done nothing with it......is the dilemma...lol

Keep it in the box and find a rough condition graphite.

The same thrills as the new vehicle, but not scared to have fun with it.

while the temptation might be fantastic, I look at these types of finds from a decidedly profit view. You can get a ton more money for that guy keeping it sealed, and turn the profit into a really sweet graphite roller PLUS other profit OR something else you like; another car, a guitar, a new part for the 1:1 car, etc. Is opening bags worth the potential loss of those other things? I dunno, it's your call. To me, it's not.

I hear you, the more I think about it, the more I think it's a bad idea to open it up.

If it was mine, I'd sell it here cheap!

Seriously I think I would keep it new in box and just buy a cheap runner instead.

I feel the same way at times. Here is my solution to the Christmas day surprise.

I give a list of cars / trucks I want (NIB) to a friend of mine. He searches to find them and then let's my wife know which one to get.
Then on Christmas morning I get a NIB kit but totally surprised by what it is.

Looks like you decided what to do with it, and someone wanted it pretty badly: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Team-Associated-6030-RC10-Graphite-Buggy-Kit-NEW-IN-BOX-/121917390684

[green510]

Import charges would be for some overseas countrys.
Thats what we would get charged to bring it into australia

Curious if it was someone on this forum that pulled the trigger on that auction...
