I won't pay more than 300$. I would look more towards 200$. When I look for used rc iam willing to pay up to 2/3 of the MSRP if rc is new in a box never opened. 1/2 price in excellent condition, 1/3 price if it's good rc but has some worn or broken parts, and less than 1/4 if it's in bad shape
 
It depends on what the internal condition is. That ESC/motor combo is under $100. The truck is wet, so there may be rust on the screws/links/bearings... it was probably hodge podged together. You can do better. For that price you could probably ly pick up a nearly new bronco, blazer, or other newer trx4 considering they are $499 bran new

That’s a good reference to keep in mind when buying used.
Buying and selling used is tricky, many sellers have an inflated value that they have stuck in their mind. I especially love the people selling a 2-3 year old clearly used item and there basically asking full retail
