Fu-bar value

[GIXERMAN]

Do you think a fu-bar is worth more money than it cost new.

No buns and popcorn plz

[phil67]

Not to us flybar owners lol



No buns or popcorn were hurt in the making of this thread


If someone really wants something and not prepared to wait, they will pay what they believe is a good price for the article.

Your be on the flybarless soon even paddy is going for it.

I think you could demand more money sure.

The more interesting question for me is whether, in a forum such as this, you should.....

My understanding of the for sale section here is that it was to help out fellow modellers.

The seller gets plenty of exposure so that they can sell what they no longer need or want to those that may be interested, and usually get no nosense from the buyer.

They buyer benefits by being able to trust that the gear they are buying is likely to be in good condition and from a trustworthy source.


I wasnt aware that it was about making a profit, or about trading to make money..... perhaps my eyes need opening to that, but I didnt think that profiteering was in the spirit of this forum or the for sale section.

Fu-bar value

I remember when u couldn't get beast x units and second hand they were going for more than new price !

[electricsceadu]

i wouldn't pay more than the new price for anything
i'd either wait untill it was in stock or buy an alternative


my flybars were not shamed by this post

paddy is a trator to the flybar

Im with you Jimmy.

IMHO this hobby is about helping each other, not making a fast buck. Even the model shops dont get that kind of mark up on products they sell. They get 30% at best!

If the seller wants to exploit a product let them, but it'll only harm their future trading chances.

Well said that man, specially when for sale threads can't be replied to so noobs 'may' get a raw deal

what do you think guys?

[waveydavey]

I think it's plain old supply and demand and if someone wants and is prepared to pay more than a product costs new then that is up to them, not the seller, no buyers no sale. I understand your point james but at the end of the day we all think we are getting a bargain buying the FuBar over the V bar for all the many reasons there are and advertised. So it is still a saving over the alternative original unit or bringing one of the other clones into the country and facing VAT and import duty.

If we are talking buying and selling in general then personally I would ask the general going rate whatever that was. I'm not in the hobby for gain if I was I would have picked another one, I've spent a lot more than I could ever hope to recoup, even 1% would be optimistic

Buyers will make their own mind up I suppose, we're all quite sensible on here.

I paid about £45 for the one that I sold I believe,

An item is worth what a buyer is willing to pay, As Milly0812 said it happened with beastx's in the past. If you bought a Vbar for £170 and then mikado stopped making them and the value went up to £200 is that wrong to sell it at that price then? I'm sure some team pilots sell stuff for more than they purchase it for. Is that wrong as well?
