Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / November 2006Best way to sell transmitter
I want to sell a used transmitter and would like advice on the best (meaning more exposure) place to sell it; either ebay or rcuniverse or perhaps a different rc auction house. Thanks >I want to sell a used transmitter and would like advice on the best >(meaning more exposure) place to sell it; either ebay or rcuniverse or >perhaps a different rc auction house. Why not make it simple? Put a price on it and sell it here. Lots of folk here might need a spare or a replacement. -- Ray Thank you for your advice. I wasn't sure that the rules of the use group would allow me to sell items here. I'll put it on tonight. > >I want to sell a used transmitter and would like advice on the best > >(meaning more exposure) place to sell it; either ebay or rcuniverse or [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > -- > Ray >Thank you for your advice.

Much as folk here hate this fact, USENET is an anarchy where only voluntary compliance to rules works. As long as you only sell here now and again, most won't complain. Some would love to see this become yet another catalog of items to buy. Others hate the first sign of a seller. But, you'll be all right. You're a Goodfella, after all. -- Ray > I want to sell a used transmitter and would like advice on the best > (meaning more exposure) place to sell it; either ebay or rcuniverse or > perhaps a different rc auction house. In my experience: If you put a fair price on it, selling it here is the least hassle - and no commision to anyone. Have tried ebay etc several times, and always came back to selling on the usenet.

Donate to charity and take tax write off. Used transmitters seldom bring more than $25 no matter where or how you sell them - swap meets, e-Bay, here or in your local pawn shop.

Old 4 channel TXs are certainly useful as buddy boxes, but not that many people even need a buddy box, and those that do often already have their own old 4 channel TXs. They're good for simulators too, once you get the appropriate cable/adapter.

And post a link in here and elsewhere. Again thanks for all of the advice. It is a pretty new computer radio (purchased in July 2006) and it comes complete with manual, never used servos, never used reciever and never used receiver battery. I could put it on ebay, but I know that what I want for it is the price that units like it are going for on the auction sites. Rather than wait several days for a the auction to get over, I plan to put a price on it and sell it right away. I do not have to sell it so I am going to stand pretty firm on the price but will ship it at a reasonable rate with insurance. Look for the item soon. > > I want to sell a used transmitter and would like advice on the best > > (meaning more exposure) place to sell it; either ebay or rcuniverse or [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > And post a link in here and elsewhere.

I am of the variety that if i cant use it any more(what ever it is)I will give it away. perhaps someone else can use it. give some else a start. most of my equipment i bought myself.. and as i move on i upgrade and then you gather more crap... when i bought my P51 PTS I HAD NO USE FOR THE RADIO or THE RX so i had a fellow in my club who was in need so it went to him... most people think they have gold anyhow and ask way too much anyhow... Good luck..

I agree with you. I too have given airplane stuff to fellow flyers in need. Having not belonged to many other kinds of clubs, it seems that rc airplane clubs are some of the most generous people around and I want to "pay it forward" for the help I have received. Also there seems to be a model airplane karma that when you help others, you will get get help back.(This according to my daughter). However, this time I am selling my radio setup because I need to use the money that I get to upgrade to the better radio. This would be in the category of "paying my wife forward. ;-) > I am of the variety that if i cant use it any more(what ever it is)I > will give it away. perhaps someone else can use it. give some else [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > >> >> > >> >> And post a link in here and elsewhere. |
