vintage tone · 09-30-2009, 05:12 AM

Hey Everyone
Is anyone familiar with the price of like new to NOS "vintage" modified motors ? Such as Parma Cyclone, Trinity Monster and such

Thanks in advance. I don t want to ask too much and on the other hand I don t want to rip myself off.

Also have a very clean Kyosho Rocky, Lazer, and Optima not NIB but complete and clean. I d like to have a price range of these as well if anyone is familair with the models.

Last are Radios, Graupner D4 and D8 and Futaba attack.

I m a vintage guitar dealer and expert so I know how the vintage market works ( just in case some fool tries the classic " it s junk i d take it off your hands for 2 bucks each), I m not familiar with the RC market yet tho.

Now if you need price quotes on guitars or year/originality identification etc i d be glad to return the favor

Ty in advance

The buggies are definately worth something.

As for the motors, if they are new in the package, never used possibly $30 -to $50 if the right person is looking exactly for what you have, for a specific application.

If they have been used, possibly $10 to $20 if its in really good shape.

For vintage your better off going to rc10talk.com Just my .02

+1 These prices are pretty spot on.

Old motors generally aren’t worth a whole lot, unless they are specific models that were used for box art cars, ad cars, or prominent championship winning cars featured in the magazines. A lot of the Vintage guys like to do recreations of box art and featured magazine cars. Or perhaps some of the original kit motors from the '80s, very early RC10 Reedys for example.
