well i'm nearing the validation date for me to get my driver's liscense and im realizing getting a real car is more important than a silly buggy. i want some advice on how i should sell it though... as of now it needs new front tires/wheels(~$30), front shocks(~$23) and probably a tear down would be wise just to fill the diffs with thicker oil before its run again. it's had only about 7/8 of a gallon through the pullstart hyper 8 port engine and runs strong. and by the way, my buggy is an ofna hyper 7 pbs/pcr sorta buggy(its the one from rc-mushroom) with a futaba 3-pm fm radio, hitec hs5945 steering servo, and hs635hb throttle servo. i also added an aluminum lower front hinge pin mount. the body is in fair shape as well. i want to know what i should expect from it? i want to gain at least $400-450 back from the initial $700+ i spent on it. do you think i can get more after i pay roughly $50-60 to get new parts or sell it as "almost ready to run?" i'd be including a 1200mah racer's edge hump pack and a peak charger that was originally meant for the losi mini t but i changed the connector to get a $25 1hr peak charger. this is not a for sale thread so please redirect any inquiries to my email address. i want to know whether investing to "restore" it would be worth it before i resell or not?

fix it up and clean clean clean!

you will undoubtedly get a lot more for it if its in tip top condition

I've got about $1000 into an Ofna 9.5 and i kind of toyed with selling it. I had a few people very interested, but it never went anywhere. I was asking $400 for it. Its hard to tell without pictures and stuff, but i don't think you can expect to get that much for your buggy, especially if its only stock. Try ebay i guess.

Its sad to say, but you will always take a beating on selling used stuff. As I see now on ebay things are being gotten for real cheap. I think it may because its winter and the off season for most or just because of xmas.

I have sold a few used vehicles on ebay and always got bent over on them, but I got my use out of them. But I would definitely clean and re lube and oil everything, and take pleanty of clear pics.

Another way of selling it is to part it out and sell

You'll never get much on Ebay this time of year. People want new.

My Feedback: (13)

even if u spend the 50bux on the parts i dont think ur gonna get what u want cuz a lot of them are being sold for like 400s brand new ...just for a little extra people would rather buy the new especially u have an old engine too.
id say just keep it and ur gonna miss running it especially now ur driving u can go to all vacant lots to run..selling used rc's is hard ..its worse than a used car..or maybe u can try ebay too..but id rather keep it man...cuz a lot of kids who shop for used ones are almost askin u to give it to them for free..
