Hi,
I've put this in forum as I've already posted a similar thread in the "On Road" forum which didn't generate much interest, I believe partly down to it being skipped over there. If a mod has any objection to this post (Basically trying to gauge interest on this gear and finding a potential value with intention to sell and/or trade dependant on the value) then please delete.
This is initially just a thread to gauge interest in this stuff, and to find out how much it may be worth. Pics are a bit shoddy as they were taken when I was asked on another forum for some quick info. Same for the little details below each item. If you are interested and require more info and/or pics please ask.
I am in the UK, so it would probably be easier to stick to UK but if you've got something to say about that I'd like to hear.
I'd also consider any offers of trades - May interested in some RC car stuff... Maybe micro? I don't know. I may also considering keeping anything that would be useful if I were to trade; Eg, TX may be worth keeping... At this time main focus is on the bike stuff (Eg, NF 501, brakes, hop-ups, case, etc). At this stage I'm simply open to seeing what's what! :)
Note, it everything would not have to be sold "together". Also, at this time no items are for sale at any fixed price - I am merely gauging interest and may decide to sell and/or trade based on this. That is, I've spent a lot of money on this and if it no longer holds any real value then I am unlikely to want to sell...
Anyway, here is a copy and paste of what I've posted elsewhere.
Radio system:

Sanwa Gemini II 3 Channel 40MHz FM Computer Radio System
New and unused.
Battery:

3x GP-3300-SC NiMH Battery Packs, 1x Unknown Battery Pack (Was custom purchased as an upgrade for use in the Radio System)
New and unused (As you can see I've still not removed them from the bubble wrap they were shipped in).
Bike:

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2848/bitswd6.jpg
Nuova Faor SF501 With Front Brake Disk (Was optional extra)
Purchased second hand; Had been built and used once. Has not been used by me at all. Arrived to me when purchased as a built unit. When I was planning on using all of this bike stuff I began to disassemble it however never got round to using anything. Therefore bike is in parts, with sections semi-assembled. Includes 2x Futaba S3003 servos.
Brakes:

"Pat's Brakes" - 2F/1R + Extras (All necessary components required to fit)
New and unused. These were made by an Austrlian chap and were very sought after during my time of buying all of these bike bits. Cost me well over £100. Get great reviews and are stunning to simply look at; Sadly I've never seen them on the bike...
Case:
http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/2032/caseao6.jpg
Nuova Faor Official Case - Had to be ordered from America.
New and unused; Designed to carry bike (Not exactly sure *how* as its a soft case I believe [See, I've never even looked at in since purchase!!]).
Charger:
http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/9956/chargertm3.jpg
Ripmax Pro-Peak Varipulse 2500VP AC/DC Variable Delta Peak Fast Charger
New and unused.
Hop-ups:
http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/752/hopupsxi7.jpg
Various hop-ups. Some official Nuova Faor, some CrazyNutRacing. Quite a bit of titanium (Some items costing quite a bit). Includes 2x Piggyback reservoirs... Aparently these were really great when used to modify the existing suspension. Include servo Y-connector for use with brakes (Above) and a pack of body pins. Note that a number of bits had to be ordered from America (Including the piggy back reservoirs and CrazyNutRacing hop-ups)
All new and unused.
ESC and Motor:
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/9232/novakpi0.jpg
Novak Super-Sport Sensor-Based Brushless Motor System including Super-Sport 6-Program ESC and SS5800 Brushless Motor
Purchased second hand with the Nuova Faor SF501; Had been used once at the same time as the bike. Has not been used by me at all.
Stand:
http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/842/standpn7.jpg
Stand - Hardly worthy of a mention none-the-less I bought it...
New and unused (Though does appear to have a minor crack in it; Not sure how when it's been on top of my wardrobe for its entire life, but still...).
That's everything I think.
If anybody could give any info on how much this may be worth or what I should consider selling and what I should consider keeping. I feel I'd be much happier with an RC Car setup than this but having paid in excess of £1000 for the whole lot initially I'm not parting with this lot easily... But I'm interested in hearing numbers, because if it means getting an RC car, it could be better than this gear being sat in my room.
PM or reply for any additional details as you require :)
Cheers.
