Can some one do the math on this please! Math was not my strong subject!

I started to do the math, but I couldn't get past pi. Mmmmm pie........

7, the answer is 7.

Can we make this a sticky?

Oh never mind, people asking for pricing obviously can't read anyway

What could I get for it with all electronics as well?

Hello Pintobean11.
Simply put there is no value guide when it comes to these things. Back in the day older models tended to become more redundant as the newer models were released onto the market. Often these older models had little worth and racers would sell them off for what ever they could to help fund their racing.
Fast forward to today, there is some renewed interest from folks with a nostalgic yearning and a small market has been created for the older mdels again. This market is fickle and you'll find that by doing some research on ebay and other places what your specific model has recently sold for.
In truth, it's a buyers market. The vintage/nostalgic market has well and truly been saturated by sellers unearthing little gold mines of cool stuff and releasing it out on to the market. Essentialy would be buyers are spoilt for choice.
These are factors which will at times govern prices. Ofcourse you can always post a price that you feel it is worth and go from there. Make an offer will soon prove what people are willing to pay. Wether that meets your expectations or not will soon give you a true idea of what it is worth at that particular point in time.
Hope some of this information helps you out.
Best of luck.

I guess we should have prompted you that we're great at busting chops

Pintobean,

what Charlie said, we get that question so many times it becomes almost a necessity to respond how we do. I'm glad you replied and didn't just pack up your toys and go home. stick around, it's a fun forum.

He is being modest...we as a collective group are excellent at busting chops on this question

I've been on forums long enough to know how it goes. I mean, you can't take the internet too seriously right?

And in all reality, I don't have enough posts to be active in the buy/sell so I may have just tried to be tricky. Today I ended up trading the car for a duratrax stadium truck. My buddy has been looking for an electric truck so it worked out perfect to make this trade.

When I first stepped into the vintage world I wanted to know how much all my stuff was worth. I think I thought it would be cool to know my stuff was worth a fortune. But I quickly learned it isn't worth but what the next person will pay for it. And I soon learned to just like owning the stuff.

I still watch certain cars on ebay just to see what people are paying for certain cars. Even that is never a set price. What something in perfect shape may sell for. A week later a poor shape of the same thing might go for just as high. Too many factors in when you're selling versus when people are buying.

Well said
