No freakin way tyco fx-4 9.6v!     http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tyco-Fx-4-9-6v-Turbo-Radio-Controlled-Car-/280844144818?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41639d90b2

any of you on here go by "tamsho" on ebay?  thats who bought my red super turbo hopper when i sold it about 5 or 6 years ago.  i think i sent it to georgia.  i also sold a pair of 9.6v turbo hoppers on ebay about that time.

Id be all over that wild thing aero if i didn't have a mint in box one,,,those are hard to come by and i plan on winning that FX-4 i have the mini brand new in the box it will go perfect with.

[friedchickenfuelsme]

How much do you think that fx4 will go for? My neighbor had that car and I always wanted it. I'm going to see of my wife will let me spend a little on it or else i have about a 150 dollar cap. If I catch her in a good mood maybe 300 budget but her face color is green so that may help. I remember wanting his fx4 soo bad. She will let me spend 400 on a traxxas any time but its going to be hard justifying spending more than 150 on a tyco and I'm sure its going to go for more than that.

oh noes!  how often are members of this forum battling each other on ebay auctions?  lol

[poptart]

lol "oh noes" the 9.6v fx-4 is on my list of 5 that i dont care how much they cost i must have them new or as close to it in the box.its happened before stussels ,,,but were all friends here so if he winds up with it maybe he'll sell it to me one day and if i ended up with it id do the same for him so its cool,,and I'm not sure friedchick people have been sleeping on tyco's this month,,i sold some new in box 9.6v duplicates i had on ebay in Jan and got strong money but in the last 2 months in box 9.6v's are going for much cheaper than normal.a nice boxed 4wd super hopper only went for $132 and a nice 9.6v turbo hopper only went for $182 which a close friend bought but imo is well below the norm

[stussels]

damn, that aero wild thing only sold for its starting bid  im surprised there weren't more bidders.  that was a good looking car and not too common.  shouldve thrown a bid in.

and thats cool, i hadnt thought about them trading hands on here later.  if i were a collector, id probably end up sealing up the boxed ones in a dark room for eternity. 

[poptart]

yeah weird ,,it is a rare one i would have definitely bought it if i didn't have 1 mint in box already would have been a nice score i paid double that for mine,,,and yeah lol i have 75+ in the box and have thought about that a few times

[friedchickenfuelsme]

I'm willing to pay more of a "I think its cool" price so anyone wanting to put it in a collection will probably beat me out. I just think its cool and its not one with sentimental value since I never owned one. I would like to win it but other than maybe a few dollars over 150 I don't want it that much. Plus the neighbor who had it was a huge jerk. I would love to have it but in this economy that's 5 tanks of gas (at current gas prices in my little civic).

[poptart]

very true freidchick,,,im prob gonna go $500 on it but doubt it will get that high but i would no questions. i have huge ocd problem when it comes to tyco's and matching lol,,and i just want it to match the brand new mini i have,that and my youngest who collects with me knows its the only 9.6v with lights and 8 yr olds loooove lights lol,,but if i do happen to win it i promise to sell it to you later on down the road for whatever it goes for

[friedchickenfuelsme]

For that much I'm going to get a traxxas bandit vxl paint it green and out some lights on it ; )

[friedchickenfuelsme]

I won it? Wait what just happens?

[poptart]

im glad you won it friedchick!!!,,i was at the 2012 auto show test driving the new cts-v and bettle turbo,man what a blast! and forgot all about it like a dummy ,,anyways after you get tied of it and want to make a lil profit ill give you double what you paid for it!!! seriously buddy

[stussels]

nice buy there, dont see those too much.  take good care of that for poptart so when the wife gets upset you can flip it and give the impression every tyco deal is an investment! 

[friedchickenfuelsme]

With my ocd this car will be kept perfect.as far as my wife she will have no problem since I can make my money and some right back. And poptart you have dibs and as soon as I'm ready to start a new project this is yours. Stay on your toes because I go from thing to thing fast. Wife gets onto me for that actually but I usually pay almost nothing for my rc cars and sell them for a nice profit and usually end up buying more with that money. I always tell her I can either go from rc car to rc car or girl to girl and she usually quiets down.
