Just an interesting observation.

I recently sold my LRM / T-Maxx roller on Ebay for $610...the winning bidder is a guy who purposely buys high end r/c's and parts them out for profit.

Because this was my truck that I built, my specific parts were easily indentifiable. Knowing this, I actually tracked my entire Maxx part by part and watched it as the auction timed out.

The end result was $843.95
Approximate profit = $233.95

Now subtract the disassembly time, photography, packaging time, time it takes to list and edit all decriptions, any listing fees, etc....

What do you think the actual profit was on this transaction?
