Default People on Kijiji are....

I saw this ad, it was an used Traxxas Rustler with some crap Tamiya 27T Motor, Am Radio... He sells for $120. No battery, nothing. So basically, all the stock Traxxas electronics have been striped out and this guy put in some cheap Tamiya electronics.

I give him a offer of $90...

He replied"

Your offer is insulting, do you think I'm stupid? This truck is not up for bidding, I put a price there for a reason. Dumbass. (Copy & Paste From Email)

man this guy is rude.

Is it a new rustler? What you have to do is go on ebay and find something for $120 or cheaper and show it to him. Tell him that RC's lose half its value after just 1 run.

it's an used Rustler with all the Traxxas electronics striped out, replaced by a set of cheap Tamiya electronics.

Ya,I use Kijiji and always over price my stuff. Im never really firm. Selling an RC18MT for $120 with MIP Diffs, Losi peak detection charger, DP gear coever, CVDs in the front,and aluminum Dogbones in the back.Most people I've talked to are nice(except for this lady who was the biggest freaking critic). Ya, the guy your talking to is a dumbass.

Yeah, dont buy from this guy, let him learn the hard way; he will repost, pay the listing fee, expire, repost agan, and pay the relisting fee over and over again. He will reduce his price and wind up losing much more money in the end.

Yeah, that is what I would do. By seeing how much cheaper the very same rc is elsewhere, maybe he will get a clue!
