I have a Losi Mini-LST that I built with the intentions of getting it out and bashing around with it, but it is way too nice for me to do that so I am thinking about selling it. All I done was drove it down the street once to make sure everything worked after I built it. Other than that it is BRAND NEW everything. Just curious what it is worth.
It also has these upgrades:
Losi Insane Motor Upgrade
Losi Viscous Differential Upgrade
Losi Ball Bearing Differential Upgrade
Hot Racing Resevoir Shock Upgrade
Aluminum Differential & Transmission Case Upgrade
Every piece except the tie rods and servos has been changed to aluminum and all of the screws are stainless steel. This is a beautiful truck, just wondering what everyone thinks it is worth if I sell it. I have attached a few pics of it.
If by every freaking thread you mean here and the Monster Truck forum, I guess I did post everywhere. Sheesh...new guy comes on here asking a question and this is how I get welcomed. I posted here before I saw the Monster Truck forum.

Dont worry man. I saw it was in two threads as well. He seems to spend more time posting 2 to 5 word responses in everyones thread, and thinks he knows everything because his post count is high. Dont worry about him.

He's right, I have yet to see a product post from him. Don't take the flamer's flame to harshly haha.
Crazy to think someone can get over 1k posts and not have any useful info come out. Haha. When I post, which I rarely do, I like to spew as much helpful info as I can to the OP. I responded to this thread in the electric offroad thread so the OP here knows what I mean.
IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD!! LOOK LIKE YOU SPENT A FEW SNAPS AT HOBBY ETC,THE MINI IS A GOOD 1/18 TRUCK I HAVE 1,IF I HAD TO GUESS!!! I WOULD SAY YOURS IS WORTH $200-$300..ITS IN TOP SHAPE,YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET WHAT YOU WANT FOR IT,YOU JUST CANT EXPECT BACK WHAT YOU PAID ON IT...

And keep in mind the cost difference to you beween going brushless, lipo and 2.4g radio will cost you more than the $200 increase in value as referenced by the above poster.

Many others who will consider buying this truck may also be afraid to drive it as well, not wanting to scratch it up or damage anything - which actually is a deterrent.
Though its new to you, its still used no matter how good the condition, figure its worth about 60% of what you paid for it - for a quick rule of thumb. As cool as it is, you over accesorized it, in my opinion, and rendered it less useless as it once was, because it is to nice to use.
Your best bet is to take your chances on ebay and offer international shipping. Many buyers from overseas, can not get parts like that affordably, due to shipping charges for the individual parts. You will more than likely get your best price there.
Asking opinions, from others in the same hobby, on the internet can get you a flury of miss information, as we are in the hobby for different reasons and intentions.

ALways the same rule, anything is worth only what people ar willing to realistically pay for it at the time you re selling it .
I totally agree your best bet is Ebay with international shipping ( Which is cake now with Flat Rate USPS boxes btw )
Go to ebay and check Completed listings for similar Losi.
That will give you an idea of what people pay vs what people want.
If i had the money, I d buy it ! but I don t ! So therefore it s worth nothing to me. If i Don t have 100 to spend on it, you could sell it 100 or 800 is the same to me because I still wouldn t have 100 to spend on it.
Tough times lately so be careful with people getting your hopes up telling you it s worth billions, usually the very same people won t put the cash down or even half of what they say item X is worth.
My thumb rule is that something used but like new condition in very high demand can go for 20 to 40% under the street sale price.
SOmething in very low demand is very random IF you find the guy who is JUST looking for that or has a massive crush on it AND has the cash then you d get 300, if you wish to move it reasonably quickly I doubt you d get more than 100 to 200 for it. Low demand items go for 40% sometimes less than their value new.
It s all about how bad do you need the money and what is the money coming in going to bring you ? Is it worth selling it for X price or not to you. Find the lowest limite you think is worth selling it for and put it on the Bay with that as a starting price.
No Bashing or anything here. I m selling vintage guitars and it s a bit like in RC, I hear people everyday telling me it s worth this and it s worth that, some get offended when they ask me to make them an offer and I do offer less than what they think it s worth.
I often say it depends if you wish to sell it in 09 or in two years from now.
My two cents, hope that helps
