Guys I need a RTR VTA car... I have a box of Twinkies im offering as trade.. You pay shipping..
Seriously though, I could agree with most of what's said of here.. Its no diff in the FS thread though. Everyone starts with very high prices, sometimes $10 or $20 less then new and their thinking is that it must be worth that much since ive only ran it 5 mins.
Also, when I see someone post that they've only ran it for 5 mins or "its only been run twice", I run in the opposite direction. The reason for this is because ive purchased items from such people and when I get the part, it looks like crack. The more you try to tell me how little its been used, the more I don't believe you. Post up clear pics and ill judge for myself. I don't expect something completely new when I buy something used but stop trying to justify your over the top price with comments we can't verify. I find it hard to believe that you keep track of how many times you've run it or that you would ever mention if the motor ever went over its heat threshold..

I had something on CL just yesterday and was told I was asking too much. I guess 50% of new is being greedy for almost new tires . Then he told me he owned a hobby shop. Then when I told him I would just take a credit at his hobby store for them he forgot to make it clear he just worked there.

That night I got an email from him asking about the batteries and he gave me a link to another SCB on CL that was more used without the options and extra parts and higher priced and he says "you should get that one" ?? WTF ?? So I emailed him back. " Why would I want a more used one at a higher price than the one I sold you? " What I didn't say was "see the awesome deal I gave you?" I doubt he would appreciate it anyway.
The phrase for me was "it's for my kid" . The last time I heard that was when I sold an awesome Clodbuster to a guy, only to see it a week later in the hands on another adult, yea the guy made some money on that one. WADS

Thanks , I have enjoyed reading this. Good stuff ! The two I got this week were ... "Has the truck ever been in a accident , and does it need any adjustments ?" and the other is .... " whats the least you will take for that speed controller ? " shortly followed by " ok cool , do you think it will work good in a tmaxx?" Look , the forums are free , you may want to read a bit before you start sending messages.

^LOLz. I've actually seen things listed at URC FS forums for "free." just pay $15 shipping and handling.
anyway, on a serious note, I see hotrod87 has posted in here a lot, and he's currently looking for an ESC.(and I know that he is not available at the moment.) but would someone PLEASE tell me if my offer to his wanted thread is going to end up getting me talked about in this thread....
here it is if you couldn't find it.
