Used engines, for me any way do not have much value. On a guess I would say $10.00 to $15.00 each.

Buzz.

Because they're assumed used and abused, most guys won't bother with them; however, some collectors may find some value in them, but don't expect much. They're not known to last real long or be all that powerful.

A lot can happen in 2 hours. For this reason I personally never buy used RC car engines. Despite the claims of this or that, there's no guarantee of anything with a used engine. Especially one that has zero parts support. The distributor is worthless for support of anything more than say.. 10 years old or older.

OS has a cult like following despite having some of the most deceitful marketing tactics and manufacturing shortcuts in the Hobby/industry. Heck, half their engines (or more) are made in China now.
