I THINK his price MIGHT BE reasonable.

$25k for 70 vehicles comes out to a $357/each.

Having said that:
  • I can't see the back row.
  • I do see, at least one UDR, one XMAXX, a SCX6, what looks like a couple XTRs or similar truggies, something else 1:5 scale ish, and one of those large scale jet boats.
  • Are there enough higher dollar trucks to offset the visible plethora of micros, Stampedes, and Slashes that typically sell for $100ish used? I aint know.

Problem is finding someone who would actually spend $25k on 70+ RC cars. I don't even think there's any members in our little addiction group we have that would do that. 😂 This looks like a "I don't want to sell these and my wife is making me.... but if I can get something else cool, I'll get rid of them" kind of price. Especially since he's open to trades for a truck worth less than half of his cash asking price.

Surprisingly, there's a niche of RC flippers out there who regularly buy lots like this. That's how sites like the RC Chop Shop were started. I think he's hoping one of them bite.
 
Zeros represent no extra price bc Zero is nothing so technically it's only 25 bucks. Bc if you have zero of something, it's technically nothing

Low ball him. Once he says yes speed to his house ASAP before it gone.
This hurts my head. 🤣

I think he's hoping one of them has lost the plot.

Lets say a flipper gets involved... they should pay half price at best or why bother getting involved???
I'm not gonna lay out $25k to try to individually mark these up, clean them, post them, ship them, pay ebay fees for $25 a truck over a few months at least to sell them all.

Just sifting thru all that crap would cost about $25/truck once THOSE fedex trucks showed up ro deliver it all!!! Holy shipping fees!!! 😲😲😲
