Default ebay question...

I found this on ebay...from a seller with a 100% rating...what would you guys pay for it? Just give me a ball-park figure. Thanks guys.


oncept 46 VR with O.S. .46 FXH engine, Futaba T6XH-FM computer radio, matching receiver on channel 46, (5) Futaba S148 servos, new 1000 Mah RX battery, metal radio case, neck strap. The helicopter has 530 mm carbon fiber vortex main blades, a new Zeal brand metal clutch bell, Zeal hex drive starter adapter, remote glow adapter and new Kyosho tail blades. The Concept 46 VR has standard push-pull control linkages and metal mixing arms. Everything on this helicopter is in new condition. I recently purchased a new radio system so I am including the T6XH with this auction. The T6XH has a three model memory and three point mixing curves. It is a very good radio for beginners and intermediate flyers. Manuals for both the heli and the radio are included. All you will need to complete the heli is a gyro of your choice. I was using a Futaba GY 401 heading hold and would reccomend the same. I flew it with a Piezo style for a while but, the 401 is much better. Total flight/run time on heli and engine is about three gallons of fuel. Never crashed! All I fly is helis, check my feedback & bid with confidence!

Well, you can get the full combo for $1039, and just the heli for $469. It will probably sell for between $600 and $700 unless some bonehead bids it up. I personally wouldn't go more than $600 on the combo. You could go a little more if you really want it, but for my money, I would watch for a raptor combo. I think it is a better machine and you can do it new for the velociraptor 50 with engine and radio and a ton of upgrade parts from heliproz for around $900. If you are going to buy used, I wouldn't pay more than about 60% of what you can get new. Rember, the condition is always over stated and it isn't as good as they say it is usually. Be carefull.

Thanks for your post back. I'm completely new to copters aside from flying them a ton on RealFlight so I wasn't sure on what I should be paying for this. I realize it is Ebay...but I've bought planes and engines before and did okay. Anyway...I ended up getting it for $365 plus $25 for shipping. So I guess I did okay. I'll see when it gets here. Thanks again for the info.
