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!
good for you (sarcasm) ...congrats on bragging about taking advantage of someone......I'm quite a bit younger than you so hopefully your buyers were young like me so they have plenty of time (in life) to make up for their overspending!
Enjoy your Gen2 RX8
