Default value of this?

well guys i got a super deal on a rustler chassis and used my electronics and wheels and tires. so now im getting ready to sell my sons volcano epx chassis. need help pricing it please.

the good:
alum hexs for the wheels. $10 value upgrade
bearings instead of bushings for wheels $12 value upgrade
alum rear hubs. $18 value upgrade
pair of new dogbones in the pack
new plastic spur gear truck has upgraded steel spur in it. $15 upgrade
new diff cups for axles in pack

the bad:
needs new front bumper #02075
needs new steering hub #08002,08032,08028
no electronics except steering servo
no wheels or tires
no body


how much should i ask for this? not sure of the value of used redcat chassis.

normally I would say its not worth alot...

But right now stuff is selling on ebay for alot more $$$ than normal. Many are spending tax money i suppose.

I see vxl systems used going for $115 right now and no less. I have bought 2 or 3 used rustler vxl's RTR for $150 in the past!

I will say that I bought a used volcano EPX Pro RTR for $90 shipped a month or so ago. That was a rare find tho.

I would just keep the chassis till you can afford a $75 hobbywing brushless system for the volcano. Its nice to have a 2wd and a 4wd model. They are both fun, but drive very different.

Id say start the bidding at $30 + $15 shipping. It may only go for that, or it may go for much more.

Plenty of pics and clear details will help get more bidders.

Also, If you list fri-sat evening for 7 days then bidding will end on a fri-sat evening and be most likely to get bidders fighting for it.

Well guys i figured it up to be $40+ worth of upgrades and $30+ worth of new parts plus the chassis itself. so listed it in the market here for $50 shipped OBO or take partial trade on a body or 12mm wheel tire combo that i can use on my sons rustler.
