[InspGadgt]

Let's not forget those sincere offers of:

"I'll give you $50 for your Serpent VETEQ with the C4 On-road engine"

I'm amazed at what people will and will not buy these days. I tried selling a few cars on ebay and 2 of the 4 hit their reserve...barely. The reserve was fair and I've seen many of the same cars go for much higher with comparable equiptment. Then I go to the next page on ebay and I see something like a used bone stock T-Maxx sell for higher than retail!!!! Geesh!

To be honest, it's all in the selling. eBay is a science, and when you learn how to sell (and buy) you can do well.

I bought my first r/c car on eBay - an IWC Edition Losi Street Weapon - for $80. (I also got a second Street Weapon standard, for parts, for $40.)

I sold that same car, with very little changed, a few months ago on eBay for $152.

You need three things to sell well on eBay.
1. GOOD PICTURES
2. A GOOD, TRUTHFUL, COMPLETE DESCRIPTION
3. A GOOD TITLE LINE THAT ATTRACTS SEARCHES

It helps if you proofread your listing too - I'm less willing to bid on an auction that looks like it was written by an illiterate 12 year old.

[InspGadgt]

Yeah I'm aware of those. And I followed them the best I could. The next time though I will paint the body with a cool paint scheme...I find that helps a lot.

[HauntedMyst]

"Hey, wanna trade for a stampede and a ps1 with lots of games?"

= I have no money, my allowance is $2 a week and I use it to get a slurpee. I have no interest in working for the money and I have no real concept of the value of money but I would like to get your shiney expensive stuff for my for old crappy stuff.

[HauntedMyst]

when you see titles like ChEcK iT OuT!!! InCrEdIbLe DeAl

means = "it's old, crappy and used and I think adding an old servo is a hop up, I hope some moron wants it so I can buy a new car."

[Jamedup]

Only used once = The engine locked up

Very dependable = Loaded with CA glue

Like new = Just washed

Good shape = Has a good bow to the chassis

Needs radio = It's owner had the radio on the drivers stand

Very fast = Runaway

Lots of aluminum = I have more money then sense

KaNt bEeT diZ dEeL = You going to get ripped off


For amusment purposes only

Oh.....
Needs spur gear, I bought it but haven't installed it = The tranny is toast but they might think they did it.

[Conman]

Kant Beat Diz Deal-ROFLOL

[Poolboy51]

L@@K!!!!means-
I have such little fath in humanity that I think @ signs will sell it better than a O.

[atm92484_3]

Sold as is - I jacked it up and I need a sucker to buy it.

NIP - new in package (I just put that in the thread title so more people would see my auction)

NIB - see NIP

NR - see NIP

[ag2001]

In box-- i found this box at the dump and decided to put my truck in it

ok ok, that wasnt that funny

[Mason Copeland]

No damage or wear at all. Translation: You cant see all the scratches, kinks, dinks, and broken parts in the pic (I hope).

[TyceCCSU@aol.com]

Naming each parts Retail price!?
Servo-129.99 retail, actually paid 30 on e-bay
Novak Millennium - 199.95 Retail, Brother gave it to me for nothing
T3-Retail 279.99, bought it used in the hobby shop @ 150
1000's of dolars in hop-ups!!!

"I would like to 600 for the whole package, remember, you paying for the T3, Novak and servo, I'm giving the hop-ups away for practically nothing!!"

Gota love those kids who post everything in retail value, and expect to get back 80% of there investment. Sorry, but your monitary value is worth 0 dollars! Neither are the 100's of A-mains you won with it!

[ag2001]

haha, on many sites, they say the tmaxx retail price is 850 so someone could be like...

this is an tmaxx, and it comes with a new engine, etc.i only want 600, please keep in mind that the retail value of the tmax is 850, and all that other stuff together would be over a thousand!

[TyceCCSU@aol.com]

"Car/truck has won many A-mains"
-Great!!, I'm new to the hobby, and I'm looking for a quick fix for my horrible driving skills!"<---buyers thoughts!

[HauntedMyst]

"TONS OF STUFF FOR SALE"

means I finally got around to cleaning out the garage and found all this crap I forgot about and never use any more.

This is generic, but any time someone bids more then retail (you see this a lot with aluminum TC rims)

means the buyer is to dumb to check out Tower for current selling prices.

[Madmann135]

don't forget this one

"it is a real fixer upper"

meaning:

I striped it of everything that was worth value. I want some poor sap to buy something used for 100 bucks when you can buy new for about $60.





"I ran out of time to play with it"

meaning:
the wife is makeing me sell this because I was too buisy with it to pay attention to her :D.





"this is not for beginners"

Meaning:
yea it is fast but it handles like a brick on wheels.

[ag2001]

"they dont make them like this anymore"

they suck so bad, they are out of production

[G_bruin]

Still for SALE!!!! -

Man, you guys are a lot smarter than I thought!! Isn't there a sucker out there?

[Need2Speed]

LMFAO!!!!!!

[Conman]

Thats not always true. An RC10 is still a good car, it's just that everyone always has to have someting newer or faster or bigger than they already have.

[Raydee]

I hate it when people post items for sale without a price! That bothers the crap out of me. If you are selling it you know a round about price that you want for it so stop with this make me an offer crap and just post the freakin price already!!!!!!!

[ag2001]

LMFAO!!!!!!

sorry, what does LMFAO mean? ive never heard that bfore

[ag2001]

buyer- can u mabye start it up to make sure its working?

seller- i would...only i dont have the equiptment (i do have the equiptment, but im to lazy to dust of the thing, and theres a high possibility it wont work, so i better be safe)

[roadrage]

sorry, what does LMFAO mean? ive never heard that bfore

hmm how can i say this without getting banned.... it means

Laugh My F--king A-s Off

fill in the "-" with whatever you like;)

[ag2001]

o...duh..foot! haha

[illbreakit]

Getting out of hobby and no pics = I am in debt cause I bought the F%$#ing digital camera and I am to much of an IDIOT to figure out how to use it

[ag2001]

it was too fast for me for a first car. in another words, it hardly could beat me walking just by a little bit.

[HauntedMyst]

Originally posted by ag2001
it was too fast for me.

can also mean = I am quite possibly the biggest pansy you guys will ever meet, in fact I'm getting out r/c to take up interior decorating and flower arranging.

[illbreakit]

You better not be talking 'bout me and my GT Haunted.......

[Conman]

OOH! thems' fight'n words.
Ha Ha LOL.:)

[Conman]

That gotta suck. That "guy?" is annoying.

you could have said Laughing My Flabby Abs Off

[Kdd]

Ever notice how most of the RC guys are flabby butter balls???

Seriously, I think they all live at Micky Dee's.... LOL


(Flabby Abs reminded me of this)...

[faceman2k]

tHIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THREADS I'VE EVER READ! :D

[HauntedMyst]

how much is this worth?

means = I'm going to try to screw someone, but how far should I ask them to bend over?

[timberwolf211]

Reposted cause the seller backed out.
Means I tried to get twice as much and no one wanted it.

[TyceCCSU@aol.com]

I see this all the time

"Lots for Sale" or "Tons of Stuff"
open the thread

I have a 1 pair of bald offroad tires with no rims, tires are good for bashing and would make a great addition to any racers tool box

...you said it! Who ever bought these tires is a TOOLBOX!

[ag2001]

this is NOT for beginers

in another words, its for people who know how to fix a LOT of broken plastic

this thing goes far over 30 mph (when i drop it off the top of my house)

everything has been rebuilt (by gluing all the broken peices together)

its great for you bashers (who dont know hos slow this truck is)

i am selling it way under how much its worth (because every part on my truck is broken)

seller: have you ever seen a price this lo?
buyer: yes

[ag2001]

o yea, speaking of not giving a price...

Title - (car name)-VERY CHEAP

open up the thread:

(description) make an offer

how can somthing be cheap if the buyer makes an offer????

[Madmann135]

(Flabby Abs reminded me of this)...


Well i'm not I am almost the Exact opposite of that. I am a skinny, tall 19 year old boy (I didn't say Man because I don't wanna grow up).

But yea I've noticed that I went to a R/C air field and saw that around 3/4 had spare tires, and I don't mean for their vehicles.

Some of these people need to get to the gym. I was at the gym, this was for school credit and after words I was full of energy and was driving my truck even better. Don't know if that was because of the PE class?

[Need2Speed]

LOL

[Conman]

Yeah I noticed that too. It seems like every time you see race coverage in the mag. half the guy have a big ol' spare tire around their waist.

[Alla]

Just wanted to add something to the list:

"Used but in great condition"

Means:

A) yeah its in great condition, considering what I used it for.

B) i ran it once, something snapped, it sat in my garage ever since.

[Railman]

How about: "Good practice pack" That means it's worn out with a weak cell. :D
Joe

[TyceCCSU@aol.com]

Means - i pushed this thing to the maxx, put more money into it than the house is worth, lost my wife in the proccess, sold the dog for titanuim turnbuckles, traded the tractor for a charger and new 3000's....and i to top it all off....i never finished 1 race.

[Jamedup]

I see this all the time and it bugs me to no end.

It comes with the Osed Hypro. 15.
My buddies Hypro lasted 2 years and still runs great = He lives in California but his r/c is in New York.

Everyone "MUST" get this engine = Of cource I've only had it 3 days but in 2 weeks it might be toast.

[ag2001]

this thing killed my friends rcs, (they had some 5 doller single function, turn-in-reverse rc)

this is a great basher (its really easy to bash up the parts)

nothing is wrong with this (except,......)

this think lookes wicked (litrally)

custom body (this was the first body i ever painted)

a TON of extra parts (these are parts that i broke and decided to save)

thats a LOW price (its worth less)

all hopped up (basicly stock)

show quality (at the worlds crappiest car show)

dang....i can go on forever

LOL! %90 of the people at the flying field I went to have them.

TOTLY HOPED UP(I don't know how to spell and I just bought a package of new servo gears and some extra ball cups because I broke the other ones)

The Best Deal Ever(subtract $100)

Won hundreds of A-Mains(against my friend who just bought a 20 year old Kyosho buggy)

Don't have pics(I don't own a camerra or scanner and am too lazy to ask to borrow one)

Only a gallon through this engine(I made it myself)

Buyer-Do you have references? Seller- im not gona scam ya
Buyer-Do you have any? Seller-Her is best frends email is punk37@freebie.net (You are deffinatly going to get scammed)
