bruiser's worth???

[SMEG1970]

how much is a rtr bruiser with a good condition body no front bumper or decals and a custom snowplow worth??the radio is a 4 channel futaba conquest and i'm selling it and don't want to be ripped off

This is easy.

500 and up. NO LESS.

If it is good working order and has all the parts for the body and mechanics you can safely get 600 and more for it on Ebay.

Most RTR Bruisers in good condition usually see the range of a grand or more.

Don't let anyone else tell you different. They are just trying to hose you on the deal.

Yes, definately ebay. Start the auction really low... around $10... yes, ten dollars. Guarunteed you get $400 or more. But first, I'd look around on ebay and see if you can't get the missing parts for it first, THEN sell. A complete truck will sell higher than a partial truck. I'm always searching for Tamiya and there are always TONS of Bruiser/Mountaineer parts for auction. Plus you'll get a good idea of how much you'll make by seeing other Bruisers for sale.
Good Luck!!!

Whoops. I missed the whole RTR part. *shrug* HPIGuy is right... RTR's go for alot more. I was talking $400 for the truck only. But I still recommend getting all the parts for it first.

Sure, it's a NIB example, but $1000+ is pretty good.

Here is a better example: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=561999283

Good used. $550+

Heck i have a bruiser that is a two time world champoin concourse machine with working lights, tilt bed, clod size aluminum wheels and so much more had the truck for sale for two years for 1500.00 with no takers, and you could eat off this truck it was even a readers ride in 94 RCCA so i think its hard to find any one one willing to pay the real value of one of these machines. I mean this truck has too trick everything. its one of those deals.

Sell the truck for $700...anything custom is expensive stuff because so few can build things like that. Especially snow plows...
