Vintage Cat XLS value?

[kek23k]

Hi Peeps!

My brother has asked me to sell his old Schumacher Cat for him on evilBay (or even here) but I was always more of a Kyosho fan back in the day so I don't know too much about it.

From memory, as I haven't picked it up from our parents yet, it's a Cat XLS with saddle-pack FRP chassis. There will be some upgrades on there I'm sure and it won't be shelf-queen condition. Any idea of the value or what I should be aiming at listing it for?

Depends on condition and if more than one person wants it

ebay is a cruel and unpredictable mistress.... I picked up an rc10 Graphite for 20 quid
the next one (in not so good condition) made 80

do a quick search on ebay for finished auctions and it should give you an idea of current market value and price accordingly

If it's clean with all its bits intact, they seem to go for 150+ if its really nice with all original radio and a good looking shell people can go mad for it, but ebay can be cruel if you only have one bidder. put it on with a slightly keen buy now but use the make an offer option, point out in the listing that all sensible offers will be considered, I find that gives you an idea of what the market will pay, also gives you the option of going for a good offer

I hadn't thought about radio gear, I can probably put something together but it will be historic (mid '90's) stuff. Would it sell better with full electrics?

Thanks for the advice so far, I'll post some pics when I've picked it up. If anyone on Oople would be interested I'd be more than happy to see it go to a good home rather than adding to eBay profit margins!

I've been on the lookout for an xls. Let me know what you find!

Clean runner with non original diff and layshaft fetched £220 recently on ebay. Give or take £50, seems to be typical, dependant on condition.

The only way to stop Dan is through his wife.

If someone were to tell her how many cars he really has he will have to sleep in the desert probably...

I think we would all end up in the same place if our other halfs found out what we really had and how much we spent

True, but we would probably still be in one piece, with a only few bruises. I think Dan would end up as MIB kit...
