That "sentimental value" thing is what's killing you. While it may be sentimental to you, it's just another truck to the buyer.
I had a heavily modified T-Maxx that I had set up for racing. I had quite a few memories with my son on that truck.....memory wise, it was priceless to me. With the equipment that I had on it, it was worth well over $400, but it would up selling locally for $275.
You're not going to get anywhere near the amount you have invested. These things aren't investments, they're hobby vehicles. The money spent on them should be considered the cost of enjoying the hobby.

so unless i get a real good offer, i will just keep it.

ok so i messaged the guy that would of won my t maxx for $450.00. and asked if he was still interested and willing to pay more. he said he is still interested and would do $525.00. thats $75.00 more dollars. i told him im not 100%, just weighing my options. plus i was thinking if i do go through with it, i could sell it to him on the side not through ebay that way i won't have to pay a $45.00+ selling fee! after the paypal fee, and he lives in cali (of course) with shipping i could get around $450.00 after everything. i still think its too cheap for over $1500.00 worth of truck and acessories! what do you all think?

I think you should sell it to him for $500 thru ebay for his security, he already did you a favor in backing out since he already won it for a cheaper price.

You should, you already sold it once then backed out. Then you asked him if he was still interested, don't back out on him again.
but if i do, i will go through ebay.

I cannot count how many things i ended up selling 50$ off my wanted price just to get rid of it because you never know when the other buyer will come up
id rather lose 50$ than to lose 200 in the next month
thats how i see things
but i hate ebay's fees its astronamical way too much!!!
paypal fees = ebay fees listing fees = ebay fees final fee value = ebay fees
also your not protected on claims the guy can make paypal think he never got what he paid for and win his money back and it's pretty easy to pull my friend got bitten once
