RC Flea Market forum rules -- MANDATORY:
(If you don't follow the rules below in full, YOUR POST WILL BE DELETED without warning)
  1. ALWAYS start your "for sale" post title (subject line) with "FS:" and start "wanted" listing titles with "Wanted:"
  2. You may only buy if you have been a member for 3+ months, sell after 6 months, no exceptions (learn why).
  3. Include clear, current photos of any item worth $50+ USD. No "email me for pics," no "pics later," no photos from the web, no exceptions.
  4. List only items that you personally own. Friends & family must use their own accounts. No commercial listings.
  5. Sellers, do not request PayPal "gifting" or any extra fee for PayPal payments. Wrap any desired fees into your item prices.
  6. You may "bump" a thread only if it falls off the first page of topics.
  7. If you aren't seriously interested in a purchase, don't reply to an ad unless you strongly suspect fraud.
  8. When your item sells, edit your thread's title to "Sold," but don't delete the original post.
Warning: Trading (item for item) is extremely risky and fraud-prone, and thus very strongly discouraged. Individuals in small towns can acquire a proof of shipment receipt from a "friendly" US Postal Service employee while an item is actually on hold at the postal station, thus trades can only be based on blind trust.

So I have 2 Traxxas 1/10th scale Rallys...

I don't really use them ever since I got backed out of my job ever so gracefully ( :P )
I am really wondering what I should ask for them, I have Big Bores on one, I have a set of the blue aluminum Traxxas shock towers waiting to go on one. They have both been run for about a month before being thrown in the closet. :-/

Any assistance here guys? What should I ask for them? Should I even sell them?

Edit: I actually have a few other extras, another stock body, a painted JConcepts Scalpel body, a Toyota Slash body (long story)

If they're in good condition (minimal signs of wear, no parts needing replacement) and come RTR with a few spare parts and odds and ends (batteries, bodies, tools, tires, etc), reasonable starting asking price is about 75% retail.

IMO the extra parts like the shock towers and bodies ect don't really raise the price. They are just for an added incentive for someone to want to buy the cars more. Generally used rc stuff goes for around 50%. The reason people buy used is to get a really good deal, otherwise most people would rather buy new and have the added assurance. What I usually do it add up what my stuff costs and half it. Like Reme said, about 75% is a good starting point, and is usually the best you can hope for. But as time goes on in my experience, you'll keep dropping and dropping the price and usually around 50-60% of retail is when you'll start getting bites.
