Original price back in the day?. . . . .
Ok, so I bagged myself a BNIB Novak 410-M5 esc. It turned up this morning and I had great joy in finding that it was 100% complete with all it's individual parts still bagged as well as mint condition stickers and instruction booklet.
I paid $71.00 for it and another ten bucks to have it shipped to the Uk, which I was quite happy with.
Just out of curiosity: how much would one of these cost back in the day when they were first released?

Couldn't find an original price, but they were manufactured from 1992 to 1995.

I have a receipt from February 1995 when I bought one from my LHS and it was $69.99...the list price of $109.00 was also written on the receipt.

Well, that's really shocked me! I was expecting to find out that I'd paid at least double the original price, not that I'd actually got a bargain! Lol!
I know that an 'item' is only worth the price that someone is willing to pay for it, but I'm happy to think I got a real bargain: cool!

The 410 M5 was a super popular entry level Novak, I bet 75% of my local track was running them in 92- The higher end full racing Novaks, for example were double and more the cost of that one BITD. Nice find too

Re: Original price back in the day?. . . . .
Ahh you are right.
In Australia they would been at least $180 while the full race version would have been close to $300.
The Cyclone here was around $350 to $400.
The prices we paid here in Australia was just crazy. I paid $350 for a new KO CX1 in 88.
E Bay & the net stopped all that. I even buy my C.A from o/s

Suggested retail on the M5 was $99.99 USD! Street was around $70, so I would say a nice deal you got!
