We should have a "Ebay Hall of Shame" thread.

Hahaha... Whew, the funny thing is that their will be idiots that will buy those products.

_paralyzed_ · 02.04.2009, 03:25 PM

that's business. I'm glad RCM members are the educated few and not the uninformed masses. I remember when x-box's came out and someone paid $700 for an x-box box. Yep, the cardboard package. Idiots.

prices look mighty steep... can't you get a whole savage flux for just a bit more than that guy wants for the motor and esc?

hall of shame for sure. and $209 for some zippy lipos? pfffft.

So I can get a MMM and 2200 CC motor for 175 more than Mike charges????

What a deal, I can't wait.......

Some people.....

Do you guys think those people went to business school? I'm guessing that _paralyzed_ went right for the money with what he said lol.

So this http://cgi.ebay.com/Flux-Blur-Brushl...QQcmdZViewItem is worth more then this??? http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Castle-Creat...1%7C240%3A1318 damn, Wish I did'nt buy one of the second ones.

lutach · 02.04.2009, 06:47 PM

Maybe they figure that the extra cost for the Deans, extra piece of wire and that little thing o the on/off switch was worth $100 more.

JThiessen · 02.04.2009, 07:37 PM

C'mon guys - you should know by now its the stickers....

I am with Lutach, I guess he figures the pre-soldered connectors on the blur are worth the extra $100

Dagger Thrasher · 02.04.2009, 07:45 PM

The ironic thing is that with the Castle-labelled Monster, you get a CastleLink lead too...which you *don't* get with the Blur. Those prices are just taking advantage of the uninformed.

Rnemhrd · 07:54 PM

So if I get some HPI stickers and some deans connectors I can make some $$$.

WOW I just got the idea for a new buisness. Now I need to learn to solder and apply decals,and find some suckers.Uh uninformed

I found this a rip off. A surge protecter for $200 dollars. Monster probably makes 75% \of profit off that...

For Audio and what not those are worth every penny. My parents have two monster surge systems in there house and you can hear the difference in using them and a low priced surge bar. Those units actually clean up the power to make it more constant eliminating spikes and drops (which occurs constantly in AC power) and cleaning out the static and noise often associated with poor quality power delivery.
