They call him Goldfinger...

Nice enough recovery, considering your doom and gloom description of the stripping and painting process. Worthy of a curb jumping opponent slamming runner! 8) 8)

Lets just say....hypothetically, of course, that I would put them on ebay? What would a guy expect them to sell for?

Im not trying to get you guys bidding on them...

I just am not a collector and Id gladly get rid of some spring cup plastic to get myself some more rc gear. I have the basics of the car I used to stare atin the hobby store.

Hell, I even killed her by covering her in gold paint...

What good will rare shoes be to her now?
