I have a kid that wants to trade me his two rc's for my paintball gun and in turn I would sell the rc's to upgrade and buy another gun. I am just wondering what the resale value of these are. I have not traded yet. I am cutting and pasting, so the info I am giving is the info I was given.

2 team losi racing race pro rc cars with battery pack, dinomyte speed pack and charger i also have 2 wheel mote remote controls.

That is all I have for now. Thanks for any insight.
 
If there the pro version i would think it would be around $175-200 or maybe less,You can get a pretty hopped up mini-t for around $125 without a mamba system.

Each or total? I found the mini-t new for $99.99 but it wasn't for the pro.

No total.Mini-t's resale isn't all that great if there not hopped up. For a pro rtr i would think they'de be around about's of a $100 or less each,but I'm not sure.
 
The pro is $129 and the regular is $99 in tower. From the pics it looks like its one of each.
 
Thanks guys. I told the kid this and now he won't respond. He was trying to tell me they were worth over $500. Definately no deal as my pb gun is worth over $600. Thanks again.
 
If your gun is worth $600, you would definately be the loser in that trade. You can buy a hopped up mini t for around or under $100. If it were me I wouldn't do it.
 
check on ebay, check completed listings on mini-t's. This will give you an idea of what they are worth. I have found a good rule of thumb is 50% of the lowest price that you can find on the internet. 50% of all of the hop-ups, too. Yes, resale value stinks, but that's the way it is.
 
Do the same for your paintball gun. While you may have $600 into it, is it really worth that used? Be realistic with yourself.
 
To help you out on prices, I just sold a lightly used Mini-t with new battery pack, pro shocks, titanium tierods, and upgraded servo, on ebay for 74 dollars. Hope this helps.

And it was also RTR

My gun is different because it is basicly unused, but I still know I won't get back what I put into it. However, I know it is worth way more than those rc's. Actually, I have found someone who is going to trade guns. His is worth nearly what mine is, but is actually a much better gun, so it all worked out.
