What's my heli worth?

[carl0s]

It's not for sale, but I'm just trying to tot up what my disposable assets are worth.
What would be a fair valuation for this:

• Align T-Rex 450SE v2 carbon black fibre / ali helicopter.
• Futaba GY401 gyro
• Futaba s9257 digital high speed tail servo
• Hitec HS65MG metal gear cyclic servos
• JR RS77S PCM synthesised 7ch receiver
• JR PCM 9x mkII synthesised 9ch transmitter
• Cellpro Revolution 4s li-po charger
• 20A mains PSU to run above charger
• All manuals, tx & rx charger, flight-case box etc.
• Phoenix Simulator, most people's preferred heli simulator, with USB adaptor to fit the JR transmitter.

Unflown other than a hover, it's basically a fancy display item.

About £400 maybe £450 if you got a good price for everything.

OK thanks.

The phrase "lead balloon" springs to mind. There's about a grand in there.

Just like everything else these days ....pretty much worthless!

50-60% of the original price is the general rule that everyone seems to go by.

..but I dont really buy my helis to hold their value, they are for fun.

Consider it like buying a car or computer.....

Once you have it open/moved/driven/used it's NEVER worth what you payed for it

so yea half the price of it so a 1000 pound model becomes 500 easy.

True and I do like used car prices..
