| As Eury said, check eBay for completed auctions to give you an idea of price. For sure, the Concepts are starting to go up in value. I am having to pay 15-20% more for helis and 33-50% or more extra for parts than I did three years ago. There's an upsurge in the demand for these little copters either from the collector perspective or more likely, the number of people that have come into the hobby via a cheap RTF heli (even something as crude as a Piccoo-Z) that are looking for a cheap path to a real heli.
I will give you two scenarios to try and estimate based on my own humble opinion :
1: Early DX/SE, Non-OS motor, Hitec radio, Low-end piezo or mech gyro, Not flown for years : $125-175
2: Later SX, OS Motor, Futaba/JR/Airtonics, Good Piezo gyro, flown regularly: $275-325.
If you have a late SR-X, you are sitting on good money. Those puppies are quite sought after...!
Again, these are estimates based on what I have paid and also seen helis going for. Essentially, your heli is worth what someone will pay for it on one given day. Good luck with the sale...!
