I am thinking about selling my B4 and I wanted to ask about how much it will sell for.
This is what I have.
Rc10 B4
Futaba 3PM 2.4GHz
Mamba Max 7700kv system
Associated DS1313 digital servo
An old peak racing 4800mah battery(still works)
New Reedy 5000mah battery
Some aluminum parts
Factory Team Threaded Rear Shocks
The only thing wrong with it is that a couple screws are stripped and some parts are a little scratched (a-arms).

I don't really see anything like this on ebay. I forgot to mention that it also comes with a new RPM Wide Bumper

You can look up the 3 top parts separately under completed auctions, total it up and subtract about 20-30% since combo packages get less than the sum of the parts (less buyers for the combo than for each part). You can also just split it up...you'll likely get more money, but you'll do 3x the work. :p
Used batteries usually don't get that much $$ when added into packages on ebay due to the large amount of dead cells pushed there. Tough to tell with the new battery...maybe you can say you'll throw that in if they use Buy It Now (which would be the upper range of the estimate, but you should then set a reserve of the minimum you're willing to take with a starting bid of $1 if doing BIN).
I wouldn't even bother factoring the new bumper into the estimate...small potatoes compared to everything else.
Good luck! :)

I'd say probably $250 - $300

your total investment, divided by 2, is a decent estimate

unless its an old school tamiya, generally any seller takes a hit in this hobby

10-15% off list price on, RC10, Futaba, & Mamba. Batteries As is on list price. Servo 2-5% off list. Aluminum parts list price. Extra part(used) given with RC10.
That my opinion!!! Should be sold seprately if you want to see 85% of $$$ returned. If you don't know how to use EBay, Put a For Sale sign @ your LHS. Or Forum that has Sell or Trade threads.

you don't get squat for selling RC cars these days. i just sold a RTR rustler for $65 (no battery).
when i sold my HPI RS4 2 back 2001 i almost made my money back on it.

Yup, there's now a glut of extra used vehicles (people need $$) combined with a HUGE amount of new choices out there...seems like a new product announcement at least every day now.

holla, the resale in rc is almost as bad as mountain bikes. sell a 1 year old $6k DH bike for $2.5k.
