Almost there wouldn't have helped me for the past 6 weeks.
At the very least it was poor timing, weather getting nice in the states and no rx8 stock of any gen for ~2months.
I am 62 years old and have learned patience (and planning ahead
) but I am personally very glad there are people who are so desperate to play with their toys that that they pay inflated prices on eBay. I sold a NIP red heatsink RX-8 for way more (after shipping and fees) than it is going to cost to get a new Gen2. I even sold a lightly used original 4 hole case model, netting about that same as a Gen2 will cost me and now I get a fresh warranty without paying the $40 3-hole upgrade charge.
I had both of these listed on RCTech at "shipped" prices for way less than my "Net" from the eBay sales but all the "smart" guys here wouldn't touch them.
So: "Ha Ha" (and Thank You!) to all the smart guys that wouldn't touch them!
