How much money could I get for a Kyosho Electric Outrage with JR Python Radio, Standard servo, MSC, Spike ESC, Midnight motor, and full bearings?

200-300 dollars but i could be way off the price. Just get the prices of all the stuff and knock the price down accordingly.

100 bucks if you're lucky.

Take the mail order price of all itmes new and divide by one third.

Unless you find somebody with cash and no idea of the value, and is willing to pay anything.

An itme is only worth what others will pay for it.

I'd say $300 divied by half Price-

$150 would be a good starting price for e-bay. I don't think anyone woudl want to buy that for $300, cause they can get there own with better electronics.

You really think it's worth 100-200? Wow! It's in pretty good shape, but some of the screws are missing and so is the bumper. The entire thing hasn't had 300 spent on it, so I guess i'll try to do it for 100 or so. But I don't think a hobby shop would pay me 50 bux for it.

Like I said it's only worth money if somebody wants it. Ebay or not.

Most people don't want out of date buggies unless they are restoring something.

Any buggy made today, entry level even, is far more advanced than that Outrage ever was. So like I said unless they are TOTAL newbies they aren't gonna be running this car most likely. So it has collector value if anything.

Also the electronics are not old, but the Spike is limited to a stock motor only, has no reverse and sells BRAND NEW for less than 30 bucks. The MSC is worth 2 or 3 bucks at most. The radio I wouls say goes for 20 to 25 on resale, and the Midnight might see 10 to 14 bucks if it is in mint shape.

But this is all from a guy who deals in older kits and resold electrics for R/C on a daily basis.

Please don't get mad, you asked and I'm giving you an honest opinion.

We always think that our stuff is worth much more than it really is. I do the same.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting to get an answer like what I got, I can probably get 50 for it, but I may just keep it and use it for smashing into things. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif
