Hello everybody, my villain is back up for grabs again.
I couldn't-t afford $687 to ship it to Queensland AUS via dhl, so i need to sell it here in the us.

I recently acquired this gem for my fleet. It's an original Traxxas Villain IV with a few upgrades.

Twin Speed gems Pro Arcornite 19t single wind motors

new water pickup, u-joints and Octura X447 beryllium props. She is in sweet shape w/ no hull damage.

She will also come with the original 2 stick traxxas controller, and several extra parts.
I am asking $125, plus shipping to lower 48, so I think it'll sell quick. Get it before it's gone :rockon2:. Thanks !!!

So did the sinking have any ill effects? It was under water for at least a day or so?

Hello, it didn't sink, it was blown into a bigass reed bed. It was bobbing; on top of a bunch of branches & never submerged. It was there for a few hours till dawn, when we rescued it. The only casualty was the servo. Nothing else. I replaced the servo, and have run it dozens of times since.

I made an error in my post above. I did not consider the shipping costs. Sorry. So I updated my offer. I really need a second "rescue" boat so I don't have to swim anymore. lol. So, by accepting my offer, you could actualy be saving my life! Plus I'm just a poor newcomer to FE boating :nopity:
I have a PayPal account in good standing with funds at the ready, and all positive feedback in my Ebay account too, which is "stuandlynn".

:hornets_nest:...... But I think there is some explaining to be done..... I would assume we all want the swap shop to have a good reputation?!?!? And this situation just doesn't seem to sit well with me...

Well, after he said I was slandering him, and that I was a liar I decided to post the pics. I really wasnt even that upset untill the "liar" thing. Wow. I asked about a small partial refund is all. I said if I had known the true condition of the boat I probably wouldnt have bought it. Or at least paid alot less. I got taken for a ride, and yes that is not good for these forums. But this seems to be one bad apple in a bushel of very good ones. Lets just weed it out and keep all the good ones eh?

So, this guy is gone it looks like. Hasnt been back since being called out for the liar he is. He broke so many rules I can't count them. Nobody has been able to get in touch with him I take it. Forum admin said they were going to try and contact him, but at this point I suppose it's no use either way, I was had by a senior member on the classifieds.
