Fu-bar value

[KevDavies]

I'm sure some team pilots sell stuff for more than they purchase it for. Is that wrong as well?

In my mind yes it bloody well is!! Theyre sponsored to use the parts and equipment not to get cheap stuff, use it a couple of times and make a profit on it! Bloody poor showing that!

[waveydavey]

Agree with Kev on this though

[bigpops]

The Fubar's competitors (kbar, GV8000 etc) cost less than £60 posted, so it's worth less than that, but probably more than the list price was as the demand is there but no supply.

It's similar (though less extreme) to what's happened to the Apple TV 2.
Have you seen what Apple TV 2's go for? I paid £90 for mine and could easily sell it for £150 just because you can jailbreak the ATV2 and install XBMC on it and you can't on the current one.

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?

team pilots are nothing to do with the fubar thread, but why your on the subject, I recently bought a new goblins canopy and was offered a complete goblin paint scheme free, only had to pay for the postage. So not correct about all team pilots as you say.

That's why I said "some"

I bought a new FuBar from HK, had two flights with it then sold it on here for less than I paid. It was around the time they were withdrawn. I must admit though, for a split second I thought 'I could make some money on this' but as others have said, this forum is about helping people not profiting!

I do help people who ask questions on here, If I see a thread and think I can provide some knowledge to help them out then I will. I don't just use this forum to sell stuff.

I don't doubt that you help people. I was just making the point about profiting.

Guys,

Maybe we should give the guy a break, I'm sure he has learnt from this experience and now understands the ethics of this site?

but I need money for when I inevitably crash

HK have said Fubar WILL be back & it'll be interesting to see if it will have a new price after this (not because of this but because of some possible changes). I wouldn't mind one for my Gaui 200 but I missed the boat as I didn't have the funds despite it only being £45

Still wouldn't trust that unit on an expensive Heli
