Value?

[sarge]

I just recently started getting back into the RC realm, and have been thinking of picking up a nitro monster truck, but I want to move these three out first.
I have absolutely no idea the value of any of them. I know they were all pretty pricy originally, but as everything else in time the value usually drops.


Tamiya Frog, complete, with a Futaba controller, and servos. Buggy runs, and performs well, ready to run as is. Condition is practically new.

I also have:

Tamiya Grasshopper, complete, minus servos and controller, they got moved to the Frog, otherwise, it's ready to run as well.

I have 2 batteries for them, and a charger.

In addition to those, I have an RC-10, with a ton of spare parts. I have it set up so it can be changed from the original buggy style rig to a street racing Corvette. It is my primary running car. I mostly use it to putz around the yard and have some fun. It's a great runner. With it I have the controller, and a quick charger, along with 3 battery packs.

Thanks for any input.

that frog is worth about $75-$100 depending on condition.

OK, thanks. Condition is basically perfect.

if you can find a serious collector you may squeeze enough out of the tamiyas to get a t-maxx. missing electronics are no biggies. most collectors are looking at condition of parts and bodies. the more original the more it is worth.

hey i have an origional tamiya wild willy, what are those things worth these days??? oh by the way its pretty much mint, even has the origional mabuchi 540 motor.

any hhelp given is appreciated.

They both sold last night for $175. I probably could have held out for more, but I'm not trying to be greedy.
