Im confused...i just sold my b4 rs rtr buggy for more than I paid new :confused: He already paid and everything. It comes with exactly what you would get with the new rtr but mine has 3 runs on it. Does my auction lead you to believe that more stuff comes with it? Im confused :)

No, seems like normal. It doesn't say it has upgrades or anything.

Well....it's got Deans on the ESC. Maybe they thought the connectors were worth that extra something? :confused: :p

Some bidders get caught up in bidding on something really want and lose track of cost. Also some people don't know the price of the item 'brand new'. I've seen this happen a couple times.

Hey, once the buyer is happy, that's all that matters.

Meh , maybe you could send him something extra you have lying around , or a couple of tires. It will give you that extra warm gooey feeling inside of having done something nice. lol ;)

I'd sit back and be happy. The general rule is that you lose half the value when its been run. Some people are crazy

jamesbernatches... nothing wrong with the wording or the pics.. you stated only deans plugs as changed... I have sold alot of stuff on E-bay and some people do get crazy with bidding... Most of us are smarter than that, but some are not.. I buy alot of stuff for my Baja 5b and I'm always amazed when someone will bid 60-70 dollars for a used (worn out ) set of rear tires and pay 12 to 15 shipping when I can get a brand new set from DDM or local hobby shop for about 62 even... makes no sense... I'm not complaining, because those people who don't care fund my R/C addiction...

an uneducated reader could read things into that, but if they did it's their own fault for not knowing what they were buying

you didn't have any extras in the picture

Strange, if you look at the bid history, how come all your bidders have the name "bidder" and a number next to them. I've never seen this before, is this a new ebay feature? If not, it looks suspicious.

Ebay has changed their policy you don't see a bidder's name anymore - apparently having a name listed on the bidder's list was causing probs. You only see bidder1, bidder2, etc. That way, no one can contact bidders for whatever reason, gripe or offer to buy item cause they didn't win it, etc.

James, congrats - 28 bids, your item set off what I call a bidding frenzy and the seller always profits from it. Not surprised you got more for it that new would cost. Bidders just get into it and its winning any cost, competition!! I walk away from an auction when I see a frenzy start as a buyer. Love it when I see it happen as a seller!
