Default Selling help

Hey guys i've just been thinking about selling my buggy, and i'm curious what kind of money i should be expecting to get.

Its the Ofna 9.5 MBX mostly upgraded to pro-spec, with 4mm cnc shock towers, chassis braces, ect.
Frong cvds, center front and rear cvds.
Stock wheels/tires, new crime fighters on dish wheels.
Stock center diff, plus a Pro Thorsen center diff.
A couple new wing mount sets, two wings, two sets of mud guards, new front/rear a-arms/pivot assemblys, lots of spare parts in general.
New JR XR3I radio with a hitec 645mg steering and the weeker JR standard servo for throttle (can't remember the #)
New OS .21RG engine with about 14 tanks through the buggy, just starting to finish the break-in.
Ofna 086 tuned pipe plus power adapter.
New Clutch bell

I'm probably missing lots of stuff because this buggy is absolutely loaded. Its in really great shape, the body has a lame paint job but oh-well... Chassis has minimal scratches on the underside, nothing is beat up, few dings and scratches.

So what kind of money should i be asking for this set-up? I priced it out new and i got over $1000 when i got tired and stopped Also should i sell everything as a package, or sell the buggy as a roller, or seperate everything? I'm considering keeping the transmitter and the receiver...

I've decided to stick with 1/10th scale stadium trucks, just because i don't get to drive all that much so a buggy of this caliber is a little overkill.


Thanks for any help you can give me!

You should be able to get about $250 for the car as a roller. Than part the rest out. Its easier to sell as a roller and put the rest of the stuff on ebay.

I got my 9.5 MBX with everything cept an engine, and it was $300. It had upgraded front and rear shock towers, crime fighters, aluminum chassis braces, upgraded front plate, had the stock radio, but no steering servo.

Maybe that will help you.

Hmm thanks! So maybe 450 or so for the car, servos, and engine plus all the parts... of course some of the crap in there is worth a lot. I might sell the thorsen seperate because i should get about 50 out of that. I think i'm gonna keep the transmitter/reciever for myself.

So you think i should just sell the car as a pure roller, no servos or anything? And then i should sell the more expensive accesorries such as the thorsen diff seperate, and sell the servos and engine sepperate also?

I would keep the electronics in the car and sell the engine and all the other stuff seperate because you wont get much out of a 645 and a weak JR.
