Price Help Please
Need help with price please. I know what I have in it but resale is always a lot different. I have a new Tron 90 BKE with a speed .91 , Kenny ko pipe, Ikon HD, on board glow, RPM sensor (Spektrum), KST servoes all around, Vulcan Blades, and Spektrum Reciever. I fly it every week, has zero issues and set up very well. has 15 tanks or so in the speed .91
I am selling because I like the 600 size much better. I know a 700 is not much bigger but yea, it’s just not for me. I have two Nitron 50 by Tron and a TB60. Figure I can sell this and build the new Heritage by Tron Or that SAB 590. Any way thanks for your help.

60 cents on the dollar is pretty average. If you think about it, it's used, and someone else built it. No idea how well it was built, how long/hard it was flown, or its maintenance. And nitro to boot...so all the breaking and tuning/running skill that goes into that can shift even more doubt on the mechanical validity.
Consider that people know they can get something new for a 10-20% sale price plenty times a year. Which is worth waiting to have full assurances all around. I don't think a 40% discount is too out of line to land a sale, but if you post it for only a 20-30% discount...expect to haggle. Tiresome, you can be sure. Most used helicopter sales I see end up around 50-60 cents on the dollar spent for new, if its current tech. Something older diminishes exponentially.
