toy for the kids or yourself???

[plod]

I'm not earning a lot at the moment, and what with the mot and two tyres last month, I was already struggling a bit

I was paid a week late, and of that only got half my wages due to cash flow problems at work

I bought this to have a bit of fun with, but been busy quite a lot lately so literally used it for 5 mins only

It is all RTR (Ready To Run) and comes in original box - I'd go so far to say, it could literally pass for brand new, which in reality it almost is
It's a Losi 1/18th scale Mini Desert Buggy

I believe retail is £129, but can be picked up from discounters for £100

I'm asking £80 posted, or would do for £76 if paid by paypal gift, or payment by cheque



Probably not the usual place to sell something like this, but needs be as needs must

Hi plod,
im skint at the moment as ive just payed out for a breaker car,
and imwaiting for some cheques to clear, wages.

if its still up for sale next week iwill buy it off you,
my 5 yr old son as been moaning for another remote control car for a while now,

[plod]

Nice one Lozz

[lozz]

Hi plod,
got one cheque that will be cleared on the 17th.
so can pay you via pay-pal tomoz,
or Midnight tonight if your up that late il pay you then

[plod]

Tomoz is good for me mate

I'll get it wrapped up ready to go

[lozz]

Cheers ,
iwill send you a pm tomoz and we will go through this paypal thing,
im not 100% on how to send money out as Gift. obviously this is to avoid pay pal fees right?
ive no problems with that tho,

[plod]

Yes, as a gift to avoid fees
It does give the buyer less protection, in case the seller let's you down

I wouldn;t recommend for someone you didn't know, but I ain't planning on doing a bunk

[waue1978]

Last time I tried to send money as a "gift" on Paypal, the fees were still payable. Only difference was that the sender could opt to pay them.

[plod]

If you have money to cover the amount already in your paypal balance, then their are no fees either side

If you are paying, and using your bank account, or credit card to fund your paypal account, then fees are payable, and as you say waue, their is the option for the buyer to cover the fees themselves, or make the seller pay the fees.

If a cheque is easier Lozz ( saves me transferring the money from paypal to my bank account ) then if you are using the second of the above options, then it's cheaper, we can do that instead

[lozz]

idont use cheques plod,
iwas thinking of just going into a branch of your bank and paying in the moneys it wouid of gone in your account instantly,
ah well, its getting late now so pay-pal will be the next option

send us a pm mate and iwill send you some coin

[lozz]

right err pay-pal sorted ithink,
check everything over plod and make sure everything is 100% at your end pay pal wise,
ive coverd the Fees too, so nowt to worry about there hope that helps

[lozz]

Oh sh*t, Feck,

Plod. ignore the address on my pay-pal its incorrect thats my old address,
ive sent you my new Adress via pm.


Anyone know how ican change my Address on pay-pal icarnt see any way of doing it
this is the 1st time ive sent monies through it normaly ijust pay by postal orders or through the Ebay channels

[plod]

Sorry Lozz

Missed the last 3 or 4 posts, as the forum has logged me out twice today !! ( I'd mention that "today's post" button again, but it got me nowhere last time


Anyway, pm's recieved, and car packaged up and sent first class recorded today ( cost me bit extra and could of gone a bit cheaper, but it's my preferred option if I can )
Tracking number pm'd over as well

Many thanks for the funds lozz, will gratefully go towards some baked beans and bread so I can have skinheads on a raft

[lozz]

Cheers plod,
there was not rush on getting it posted,
kids wont be playing with it for a while ,
it will be going to a mate of mine first before they get it, Motor will be upgraded to a Brushless one and a differnt battery,
it will have to do more than 45mph when my kids are playing with it as it will have 3 greyhounds chasing it too

thats the plan anyway

[plod]

Yes, my initial plan was brushless and lipo as a few guys down the local model shop bought them and they were building a mini track to race them, then the shop shut, so I never did anything with it
I'd organised someone to paint me a police style shell, and had someone ready to build me some blue and red flashing led's to sit in the light buckets on it
