Will you buy something that you can't use now but figure you can use later or if nothing else, sell for more than you paid for it?


Example: If i posted a mamba max for sale for 50 shipped and it works great, no probs, yadda yadda. Would you buy it even if you had nothing to put it in?
 
Yeah I do it all the time.
 
cool. i feel better about my purchase today. lol
 
What did you get???
 
I do it all the time as well.

If I can't use it but know I can make some money if I flip it, I will go for it.

The guys on American Pickers and Pawn Stars are my heroes. LOL
 
Like the stuffed Mike's miniature horse or Chumley's hot air balloon?
 
I used to but not anymore. These days I try not to spend money on stuff I don't need or necessarily even want. I used to spend a lot of money on r/c stuff but the year I've not bought much at all. Of course I don't use anything I have so what the point of buying more. Although I do really enjoy building kits. I honestly wish I could build a kit and sell it for an even wash of $$ I put in it. That would honestly make me quite happy.

If you have a mamba max that works great no problems yadda yadda for $50.00.....I call dibs!
 
flm_savage I'm curious.....

What did you buy..??

And yes... I'm guilty of the impulse buying if i think its a bargin
 
well its not an incredible jaw dropper but i picked up a like new VXL combo (velineon motor and VXL 3S esc) for 85 shipped.

I know the motors normally go for 50-60 shipped and another 35 bux for a 3S esc seemed like a great deal. I am planning to keep my eye open for a mid level drifter roller now.
 
hmmmm, might have to talk to you about one of them.


I did see the video of the tt01 on 3S..........
 
yea, its pretty frickin sick. Just dont have anywhere round my place to use it. The venenion system in it was SWEET
 
gonna bump this one. Picked up a JR8711 in great shape for $38 shipped.
























quit hatin....
 
I scored a Hudy Deluxe Setup Station (the $300+ one) for 1/8th off-road complete with Truggy Top Plate, Carrying Case...blah blah blah for $85 shipped a few weeks back ;-) Let's see what else....oh yeah brand new D8 chassis for $6, brand new D8 engine mount for $0.99, D8 Stock Body for $2.25.... I love eBay and rctech sometimes! muahahahaha

I do FAR too much wheeling and dealing.
