hard to say

denpends on its condition and how old it is. A used V2 would probibly go for about $650-800 depending on its condition. Like I said, could be less, could be more but I doubt it. Beings its a V2 Id say it is used

Helicopters have a mind of their own!!!

go to a online store and price out every thing that is on the heli and go from there.Then reduce the price given there is four gallons through it.

I once choked a smurf to see what color it would trun

if you fly a raptor Thru 4 gallons of fuel, that's about 9 flights per gallon x 4 = 36 flights, it may be about time to tear down and inspect/replace bearings, clutch liner, and over-all preventive maintenance inspection. Is he going to do that for you? Has he had any "hot starts"? How long has he been flying RC Helis? It could make a big difference, resale price wise.

My starting point is 50% of reasonable retail, for good quality.
Once you take away the stuff that is not state of the art, like a 9253, low end non digitals, non hyper, stock pipe, etc, you are pretty low.
Then factor in all the new toys on the market.
I would say a bit more than Hockey's $400, but not over $450-500.

Older motor, base line servo's, baseline gyro, with a few flights on everything, I think the $400 - $500 is a good call.

I thought that was a "hyper" engine? Isn't that what the h stands for?

Here's a link with that same model and they say it's a "hyper".

Yes, there is the 50sxh and the 50sxh-hyper
The blue head, and the carb are the only difference but the carb is much improved.

If you had the metal head you could add another 100.

There are no shortcuts in Helis. Just good hard work.

Yes, I'll add to the $400-500 crowd. No way does it go beyond $500 and would have to be exceptionally clean and nice to approach it.

I would also say not much more than 400. But then again it depends on who you get to buy it

I once saw a Raptor 50 SE/hyper 50... nice setup ready to fly w/o transmiter go for 2k..... never thought I would see that

Edit: YAHHH!!!! My 100th post.... Senior Heliman now!!!
(Sure took me long enough )

MartyH I noticed this on several other forums, He posted the same thing over and over again on different forums. Check his post. He must have been on crack or something.

If it doesn't fly sell it!

Yeah, I have no idea who he is talking about and the thread this links to is just as confusing.
