if i had the cash i would buy it.

but that same amount just went into my RC heli... which i will crash again...and spend the same amount...and crash again, add nauseum.

all of a sudden a single charge of the price ..isnt that bad. you just have to look at it from all angles.

Just like alot of other things - If only I had the foresight to pickup several when WM had them on clearance

He should easily get his opening bid price, and possibly a lot more. The longer these stay OOP, the more scarce any remaining NIB examples will become, and the higher selling prices they will eventually go for.

Makes me want to put mine into a glass case, to keep it preserved and all

I have four of these things. Three of them are the snake scheme and the other is the camo version. Two of the snakes are NIB and will probably be up for grabs at some point. My wife and oldest daughter want to go to college.

pffft! thats what jobs are for. not YOUR collectable items that you have labored for

unless you bought them to make money, then i see your point.

Once they graduate and get to work are they going to buy you toys? If not, it may be a bad investment...

Sounds perfectly logical to me..... thats why nowadays, my RC interests don't include anything that is capable of flying.

Holy Crap...$182 with 9 days left. Man I am glad I got one at Wal Mart. And to think I almost didn't get it. Makes me wnat to get one of everything, whether I like it or not, just in case someday it is worth 5x what i paid for it.
