Whats a good price?

Post by hotrodrock » Wed Oct 27, 2010 3:33 pm

Looking at picking up a California Cutie P-38. There's only one on ebay and its $180 which I'm not paying. Think I have found a couple at less than half that. Whats a fair price for one (yeah, I know thats kind of subjective).

Also, what was the P-38 that was sold on QVC called. Did it have a name? Pretty sure I've seen what its called but just can't recall. It and the Cutie are the two I don't have.

Somebody got a deal on that one! I paid twice that over a year ago! Supposedly, there were only 1,000 produced.

Strangely, it didn't sell until he had relisted it twice...go figure...

considering i just bought one that flys from banana hobby with a 55inch wingspan for $250, i would say $ the plastic model that just sits around and collects dust is worth about at most $100, any more than that you need to just start getting into rc.

That is a good price on "Louise".

I have all the P-38's, including the JSI PPM, so I don't bother checking for them that often.

Again, as you have said, the price is pretty subjective. I would say anything under $150 for CC would be pretty good. Not fantastic, but reasonable.

California Cutie is a great scheme, and once you get one, you will really like it. Good luck hotrodrock.
