Is This A Good Deal For Me?

[Nitroaddict]

Okay - i have someone who wants to trade for my RC10GT bundle.

He has offered an Ofna MBX2 buggy with spare front, rear, and center diffs, plus several spare parts

and

an OS .21RZ-VO1B Engine NIB.


-----

Sounds almost too good.......awaiting photos of the stuff now. Whatcha all think? I was trying to get 325.00 for my GT bundle.

Should I do it?

 

[DarthRacer]

Hmmm, the MBX2 is about $220 new. How much are the diffs and engine worth? It might be an even valued trade.

 

[mcvickj]

Tower has the RS-VO1B listed at 249.99 ant RS-VO1B(p) at 289.99. They also mention that this engine is being discontinued.

 

[DarthRacer]

If the MBX2 is in good condition - GO FOR IT!

Wait, didn't you have a GS Storm? Why do you want another buggy?

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

MBX2 Bad, Don't do it bro
scape the $250 up buy my buggy and sell your RC on Ebay.

 

[RobH]

NA, you have a GS Storm Pro.

steal the OS .21RZ-VO1B Engine and drop it in your curent buggy.

then you could sell the rest of it. you may not get much for it, but at least it's something.

I'm not so much concerned about the MBX as i am about the .21RZ. That engine is my dream engine.

Darth - i have a storm pro, a storm kit parts car, and have a EB-4 sitting for me to pick up on friday. I figured the engine has got to be worth at least 200.00 - and i can sell the MBX kit for 150.00 if i dont want it.

did the guy say how much fuel is run through the OS? if he's beaten it into the ground, it may not be worth it.

Before i send this email - can someone tell me if they think i missed anything. Trying to cover his and my ass.

Looks good to me. I thought you had a local buyer?

 

[Nitroaddict]

mc - i did, but i think the trade is a better deal. the local buyer was going to pay 225.00 - the RZ mill is 290.00 new. plus i get a second buggy kit to do with as i see fit. and the buggy comes with a pipe and header, which saves me another 60.00 that i will have to spend on the EB-4

 

[joneser4u]

Geees,did your lawyer look over the document?

 

[robriguez]

I would add a line to the engine statement that NIB mean never a drop of nitro has that engine seen.

I've heard stories about people saying something is new, BUT they have used it once or twice before and put it back into the original box. To me that is NOT new in box....that is used in box.

 

[Nitroaddict]

jonesr - i am very particular when it comes to online transactions. i want him to feel all warm n fuzzy that I'm not gonna burn him, as well - i also intend on protecting my ass too.

 

[Nitroaddict]

update - Just talked to the guy, said he shipped it this morning, gave me the tracking number. I cannot wait. wish it would be here this weekend, but i know its not gonna be till monday.

 

[Nitroaddict]
