Lotta stuff over there.....most ppl want new prices it seems. I can buy engines new at the LHS for what they want for used stuff.citabriapro said:Dare I say it? RCU.
Nothing in particular at the moment....just a general thought. I would swap ya a negative shift reciever for a positive shift one ....if you have one.prophanger1 said:wach ya need i'm switching from jr to futaba so have jr gear for sale and ebay is good to rcu , torqueroll or rcgroups , spadworld has boogerboy
I'll put out a second for E-Bay. Sometimes you will find people selling stuff that they don't know what it is. CHEAP I bought an OS 46 FX for $30.00.
As was mentioned RCU the people know what they are selling and how much it's really worth, sometimes optimisticly so.

I too looked at RCU and wasn't impressed. Lots for sale, but I won't pay more than 1/2 new price for used, unless I know the history very well. I have a local guy I buy an occasional engine from, and I'd pay him 80% of new because I know how he treats his stuff.
Ebay is a hit and miss. Some good, some bad. You pay for the reputation of the seller, so you can buy cheap and take a chance or buy higher and know you can trust the seller. I look for the crazy, too-good-to-be-true deals and take the chance. You can always re-sell it if you need to.
I just got 10 s148s for $3 each for some of the smaller testing planes I'm getting, good stuff.

Problem with Ebay you really hafta stay on top of things....doing searches etc...Its a better place to sell then buy IMO. Sounds like you all are hitting all the usual ones that I hit....
Try RCGroups...I'm like the #5 rated trader over there
I've seen stuff sell at swap meets for 30% - 40% of their original value... Some real steals there...
Got my first trainer at a swap meet- RTF w/ Attack 4 AM, POS OS .40, Great Planes PT-40..package price $75 bux. It was the end of the day, and I guess he didn't want to take it home...
What the hell does that mean?I would swap ya a negative shift reciever for a positive shift one
And for the best deals I've ever seen on anything you could want to do with RC, Perry, GA!
I just got a killer screaming deal last week on two Multiplex digital MG servos 140 oz and fast New for $10 EA on E-bay . I could not believe no one even tried to bid on them. I guess I have to get one of the new larger profiles to install them in. :drink:
Futaba an Hitec are negative shift recievers.....Jr an Airtronics would be positive.rik756 said:What the hell does that mean?I would swap ya a negative shift reciever for a positive shift one

Yeah, swap meets are the best. Especially for RTF planes since they don't need to be shipped. I've sold 4 planes this year and shipping costs are outrageous!!
I got to the Milwaukee show last winter and there were lots of deals. Some of the RTF planes were junk, but some were nice and went cheap.
A guy was there selling new engines really cheap. Big dealer. He had new Saito 100's for $235.
A bud of mine who's into scale got a 1/4 scale Champ beautifully framed up for $40.
Small town swap meets are just a few guys passing around stuff. After 5 years or so people are buying their own junk back.
