Value of a rigger?

[Basstronics]

Ive posted my Climate Blizzard a few times and Ive put it on e bay even. While I have some lookers no offers?

I dont understand whats wrong. Boat looks pretty good, boat runs VERY good.

So I think it comes down to price. I priced it out according to whats in it. I would like to sell this boat without loosing my shirt. So Im going to ask the experts what its worth. Maybe I got way more into it then Im going to get back and might be better off keeping it...

$80 Climate Blizzard rigger
$100 Hardware is Fullers and fits the boat perfectly.
$70 Leopoard 3650 3900 kv
$55 Hobbywing 120A ESC
$15 Hitec MS-225BB Servo in aluminum mount
$10 .130 cable, 3/16" to 1/8" prop
$40 Octrua X632 with work done to it
OSE 5.5's on the motor
$5 HK UBEC

Total: $375 I know I put it up at $400 with option of best offer and on the forum would expect nothing less than someone making an offer.

Boat run exceptionally well and you know how its going to handle. Runs a strong 55+ mph too...

So, whats this thing truly worth?

You probably don't want to know!
I had a 2 year old CRF250x up for sale for a while, all maintenance logs and receipts, A complete ride log for every Km on it, new chain, sprockets and Pirelli rubber. I was insulted by the offers! I kept it, I just couldn't give it away.
I'm currently shopping for a 27-30 foot sailboat, all I can say is it's a buyers market. It's not going to be easy making a choice, so many nice boats available for CHEAP!

Answer is ECONOMY off nation and will stay this way for sometime. I see the rigger on another site for sometime. Quality is there and it shows.Rigger is spot on but hang on to it as someone will buy it!!

150-200buk tops.
Hull and hardware are classic, those electronics are disposable..
Not downing the electronics at all, but the nature of them in a race or hard play app will give you one season lifespan.
Someone shelving it, bringing it out only a few times a year may get more.

You wouldn't put 4 grand Into a car motor and expect to get it all back when you sold it would you? Would be lucky to get half. Sucks but that's just the way it is.

Great analogy Shaughnessey.

Bottom line is though, its a nice little rigger. That thing looks pristine and hardly run.
Would probably fall into an N-2 class these days as far as oval racing, but one heck of a sport rigger for a beginner to enter intermediate level..

I personally NEVER sell boats. I sold one and regret it to this day : ) I run them until they dissentigrate, or sink, or both : )
I DO on the other hand give boats away to factory sponsors : )

Boats are tough to put a price on sometimes, because a proven boat can be priceless..
For example, Ask Joerg how much he wants for his 140mph rigger

Brian Buass on the other hand is probably the only person I've seen set a host of national and straightline records, then sell the whole fleet, then build an entirely new fleet even FASTER.

Ouch 150 200 I would just keep it at that point. I got a bad nasty jae coming soon so I figure this won't see much use anymore.

Could be a good platform for you air boat!

I had a 51" M1 supercat, brand new, never run, Neu 2230, schultz 40/160 2 sets of brand new 10S2P batteries, 4 props, top of the line radio gear, everything New pristine and perfect well over 2 grand worth of boat, totally perfect build, I ended up selling it for less than a thousand bucks!!!!!!!
