Charles Pic Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Hi! I have a completely unstarted ARTF airframe kit which has been gathering dust but now I need to accept I’m never going to get around to it and move it on. I’m not seeking to sell it via this thread, I realise there is a “for sale” forum for that purpose, but my issue actually is I have no clue what might be a fair price? Can anyone offer me advice please? The model is a Pilot RC 88” Extra 330, some pictures attached which I saved from the original listing. I have had it 6 or 7 years and cannot say it is unopened as I did open the box to check contents, but it has never been unpacked or anything taken from the plastic bags and is complete with landing gear and instructions. Googling around I don’t find anyone selling PilotRC any more, did they go bust? They used to be everywhere! The few listings I did find for new kits were EU based sellers charging €850 which seems high. I don’t remember how much I paid, but it wouldn’t have been that much or I wouldn’t have bought it. I do remember I bought it because I thought it was a great colour scheme! 😃 So… anyone know what secondhand but still basically new kits of this size change hands for? Thank you very much for any tips. Edited August 27, 2023 by Charles Pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lee Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 You should expect about 50%-70% of the RRP. Buyers expect a significant discount as they lose virtually all their Consumer Rights when buying second hand. https://www.radiocontrolledmodels.co.uk/prices-and-valuations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Pic Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Thanks Duncan! Seems they are still in the market, although their current 50CC size appear to all be 90” rather than 88”. £800-£900 guide price for new seems steep to me, but I’m well out of date. I will pick a price quite a lot lower than that and get it listed once I can get photos taken. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
