I know it's an older thread but this is the only one that was interesting and doesn't have a yes or no answer for it. Plus it had space left at the end for my ramblings and the older thread usually no one reads. So you can get away with talking about your shin splints and hemriods and feel better with out annoying anyone or them calling your house and telling on you for sniffing bicycle seat outside the grocery store.

It's tough to let go of some of the RCs you build up. It all the fun building them. Gathering the parts to make the stronger and faster. It always fun to open the mailbox and get your new parts. Rip open the box to install your new gold flanged locknuts which aren't going to make it go any faster but it gives me a reason to get excited like a kid. There for a while I think had a package every other day coming in. I enjoy the hobby and it sucks the resale value on these are so low. That might be why I still have most of the ones I built. No I think it nice to hang onto something that helped the winter months go by faster while I was putting it together. Like Harold says not many people appreciate the time and effort that was put into them like we all know goes into it. With all the RC and RC project piles I got around here there is always something to do.

You’re still plenty young and to be depressed at your age is a bit premature. You'll have time to be depressed later in life. You don't want to get up one morning and say were the f*** did the last 20 years go. Most of us have just accepted that we will be working 8 hours or more a day for 40+ years. I've got 28 years in and it looks like I will still have 20 more years to go. Now I am depressed. :) I've been lucky it has been pretty much at the same place but the jobs have changed. Have to take the good with the bad and hopefully your next job you can convince yourself the pros of the job make the cons manageable. I have never hired anyone from just because their resume was in the pile. It was the individuals that contacted me more then once after they submitted a resume. If you see a job you’re interested in let them know you want it. Don't be afraid to try something different for a while. You may like it and find a career doing it. I was in college to be a Park Ranger when I took a temp job doing data entry. Turned into a career in IT for me. Getting out working might help you feel better and fight the depression. I mean daytime TV sucks, all the commercials are for menstrual cycles, yazmin, house hold cleaners, cemetery plots, AARP, or some law firm wanting to know if I know anyone who has died while using some prescription drug. Next they will be asking if anyone I know died while driving a Toyota. Really is there anything on to watch during the days besides Barkers Beauties. I guess the Drew Carey Beauties now. Doesn't have the same ring.

If you’re selling off some rcs you may get more if you part them out. Depending on which one it is. You got some time so research eBay, keep on eye on the prices, what is listed and when. You don't want to list your RC when there are 7 others listed if you can help it. If you watch the listing you can try and get yours listed so it's not surrounded by something similar ending before and after yours does. Seems most people list for 7 days. If you part them out check out the chops shops. They have a schedule they go by and you don't want your parts ending the same time theirs does. The toughest thing for me to do when selling on eBay is to hand my ass out there on a no reserve listing. So far it's turned out fine and the price eventually gets up close to what I am looking for but they sale faster that way. I've done pretty well on the older collector RC by watching what's being sold. It good to catch an auction where there a few different bids going on then list yours towards the end of the auction with almost identical description. The people that don't win will more then likely search for another one they just got outbid on. Good luck.

I've got a bunch of projects and completed projects I need to decide what to do with too. Since I got the HPI 5b, I don't run anything else. Well once in a while I run a pack or two through a brushless but the Baja Bug hit.

Good knew doctor says I don't need surgery.
