I will be listing a Turbo Optima Mid SE soon, and is in really good shape.

My question: As a buyer, would you rather have the body clear, with the complete decal sheet (body has already been trimmed properly), or freshly painted with decals applied as per boxart?

Just curious.

clear with uncut decals. that way they can finish it off themselves

yea the bodies are simply painted for most box art kyoshos of that era.

a RC10 on the other hand, as we all see with racer8838383 or whatever, his box art bodies (which in my opinion can be done better but are very slean), sell for 2-300 alone with a wing and some non original decals. His Real Flame technique needs some work too

I tend to agree with what has been said. If it's a simple paint job, then leave it clear. Some people cant or do not want to paint, but a single color body is easy enough to do...so it won't scare them off.

Leave it clear - worth alot more to someone if they can put their "mark" on it.....like giving a home a new coat of paint when you move in - it becomes yours.
