If the deal is good enough

[flm_savage]

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?

 

[slowngreen]

Yeah I do it all the time.

 

[flm_savage]

cool. i feel better about my purchase today. lol

 

[bergoff]

if i had the money yes i would. i always do that. i do that on ebay all of the time.

 

[slowngreen]

What did you get???

 

[Macguyver]

i do it to your not alone

 

[robmob]

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

 

[flm_savage]

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.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

still got that tt-01 you traded me, and an HPI e10. haha

 

[flm_savage]

hmmmm, might have to talk to you about one of them.


I did see the video of the tt01 on 3S..........

 

[alpinehyperlite]

yea, its pretty frickin sick. Just dont have anywhere round my place to use it. The venenion system in it was SWEET

 

[flm_savage]

gonna bump this one. Picked up a JR8711 in great shape for $38 shipped.
























quit hatin....
