Default How much to ask for 511 spares?

I just managed to secure myself a TRF511 on ebay!!
Can't believe I got it so cheap, as no-one else bid on it.

Problem is, I'm gonna have to sell most of the NIP spares that are coming with it so I can afford a saddle-pack or 2 for it.

How much, as a general rule, are people prepared to pay for NIP spares as a percentage of RRP? I know people don't like for-sale posts with 'make me an offer'.

Just wanna work out how much to ask for things like:

54140 drive belt
51290 king pins
51271 B Parts
51275 Front arms
54027 slipper pads
53988 Ball Diff Pulley (37t)
51287 Diff plates
51314 91t spur
53989 centre pulley
49300 thust bearings
53969 hard hex ball studs
54133 new clear body and undertray
51286 Diff Joint
53974 Front spring set
53975 Rear spring set
3 racing front tower
Lazy ceramic diff ball replacements

Also, if anyone wants to make an offer on any of the above, let me know. (might not sell it all, just wanna work out prices for now)

thanks.

You only need one Lipo, I would keep that majority of spares you have got as you'll end up replacing them.

Lipo's - I use SMC 5200 MAH 60c's in my 511. Awesome - just make sure you glue the tyres on well!!

I would agree with Matt. Looking at that list of spares they are just the sort of thing that you will need over the course of a season and will wish you had kept them.

Thanks mate,

I also run a 511, and yes you will use them all.

Thing is, I have quite a lot of those bits anyway from having a DB01 (drivetrain parts, etc) and I really need some money!! Also, unless I crash LOADS, i doubt I'll need the 4 sets of front wishbones.

1 lipo makes for a manic night of club racing. I'd never be able to run a single pack at our club with only getting 20 minutes of charge back into it between races. I'm taking out around 2300mah so unless you get a 6000mah pack you'll need more than 1.

I have 4 so I can relax while doing my racing having to only recharge the pack I used to practice

of course it's down to how much you wanna spend
