Default How much could I Get?nd

I am just about to post my boat on ebay and I was looking for someone to give me rough estimate on what to expect out of it.
Just to make this clear I am not looking to sell this boat here, I just want to get its estimated value.

I have a Perfect only ran once supervee 27 brushless. I upgraded the prop to a balanced aluminum prop. I am including six batteries, and a charger, along with all the RTR equipment?

they will get.

Blue perfect superVee 27 brushless boat
aluminum balanced prop
a standard Peak timer charger
2 2500 MAH v-max matched batteries (all packs have dean connectors)
2 venom 1800 packs
supervee 27 boat stand

what do you think I could get for this equipment assuming it was in mint condition?

Any opinion will be appreciated!

Add up what you paid and then half it. If you get better than that you are doing well. This is a good rule of thumb for most types of RC's.
Because your gear is new you may get 60 or even 70% of what you paid but I doubt it.

If you had stronger packs you'd might not be wanting to sell it.

Agreed. Those packs are the lowest spec packs I have seen someone use on an SV. If your selling because your looking for better performance then you may want to give it a run with better batteries.

Yep 4 packs. And I have AA's with more capacity than that.

Those packs are pretty much useless for a SV. They'd bring the total value down in my opinion.

I am in fact not selling the car because of its specs. I have waved with nice cells, and it is a GREAT difference in performance. I just never had time to get around to the lakes, ponds etc. I just purchased a new trumpet, so I am going to get rid of it. I need to pay bills for it, so I am just looking on what would be a reasonable price to sell this for.

I figure giving the boat with some batts and a charger is better then none at all. And it will get someone new to the hobby at least on the water...

Just a thought.

Could I get some rough price estimates please?

Grant Ed got it right, add it all up & halve it. if you get more you've done well. re-sale value on RC (unless you're selling to someone who knows what they're getting & the condition it's in) isn't good at all, unless you get an over eger person who doesn't know what they're doing. ebay will get you the most you'll get, & seeing as though they're hard to get at the moment you might do well.

if it were me, I'd sell the batts seperate from the sv hull. The buyer will be very dissapointed if he tries them with that hull. May impact you negatively.

Also go to Ebay and do a search for superVee 27 - then on the left side go down and click on completewd item. It will show you all the superVee 27 that have been up for auction for the past 2 weeks. BUT with Ebay you never know - sometime a bunch more than you thought or less - you just got to hit the right buyers at the right time.
