Hi to one and all,

I am interested in selling my Futuba 10CG 10CH 2.4Ghz mode2 tx and rx.

I brought it from towerhobbies on 30th April'10. I used only for 20-25 flights.

Check detail and features at http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXWVT6&P=7

Reason for selling, I want to buy Raptor 50 Titan posted in this site which I can use with my 7CH walkera.

Anyone interested message me.

When I shipped it costed me about 30K, Suggest a best selling price.

- Dhanva

My suggestion : Do not sell your 10CH . You will repent it.
Though you can fly the Raptor with the Walkera 7 ,  very soon you will start needing a better radio to use all the mixes/functions required by the heli.

Yes Understand, but now I need some fund to buy Raptor.

Ok, Pics added, Expected Price : Rs.18K (not negotiable)

BUMP ....

I am interested please feel free to call me on 09811963278

I am also interested. Please check ur PM.

Heyy Stunningstar a little deviant from the sales topic, wanted to know if you got this shipped to india from towerhobbies ? It being a radio, you must have had a hard time...

wow ... nice price.
It cost me 16.5k for a 7ch JR

yes I am interasted please call me on 9024562312

Is this a picture of your own radio, exactly as it is for sale ?

Can you PM me your phone number, please

Really can't understand this sale. Selling a 10 CG with Rx and keeping a walkera 7 C. Ok .......... ones own choice of radio. But selling it for 18000 when a new one is for  28000 plus shipping and that too from HK and hypothetically saying that it reaches you without being impounded by the customs. Some Maths doesn't feel right.
What say others?
Doc

I wanted the seller to respond, but have not seen it yet ! So I will say the following, with the complete belief that all of this is could be just a thought, and the seller may be be totally genuine.  I do feel responsible for protecting the interests of the audience here, and I apologize in advance if my line of thought hurts the feelings of the seller.

1.  Selling a 10C and keeping a WK7 does not make sense. Nor does the price.  But an explanation was given.

2.  A picture was posted, with the "tone" that this was the exact item for sale.  But I was able to locate the exact same picture here :

http://rcudev.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=665311 (one of the last photos here, direct link below).

http://images.rcuniverse.com/market/itemimages/Aug/lg-779920-6-4305.jpg (look at the wrinkles on the LCD covering).

That is why I asked the question, but the seller did not login after that.

3.  The seller registered the account here a year ago from a US IP address.  But the recent activity was from an India based IP address.  This could explain the lack of shipping charges etc.  The radio with rx is for sale on US forums for about $500, so the pricing is definitely off , even if it was carried in hand.  But the radio can fetch more in India.

So the big question is about the image.  Hopefully the seller can confirm that. 

One part says this is genuine, and another part raises eyebrows. I hope my actions are considered as just part of doing due-diligence, which anyone would do !

That was some great work Anwar. Hope there are some explainations soon from the seller

hats off anwar bhai, you can google words, how can you find exact same image? i PMed him too, he mailed me the address. it is in tamilnadu, my feeling is somebody offered him more and done the deal on tele, i hope poor chap gets the stuff looking at the image and 007 work by anwar Bhai, whoever has done the deal getting the stuff? doesn't look likely.

Great 007 work Admin. even I am interested in knowing how one searches exact same Images in the internet. 

Col, you are a proud owner of a similar radio, must be good, yeah!

I bought it for 29K. It is too good and great buy too absolutely brand new.

In fact I was sad when I saw it for 18K. If some one gets it as promised, he would be really lucky.

Cool!

Hello Sir

Yes, Pics are taken from RCuniverse as I have my radio packed well... Contact me @ 8124614225 for any detail.

I was in pongal festival for the past two days. Sorry for this confusion.

I have made payment for the above item, awaiting delivery of the item now.....

It is a great radio, I am sure you will enjoy it

Thanks Anwar, I am going to be using the same for planes instead of heli

Helis are just a matter of time for any airplane flyer (and pretty much vice versa!)... even our Capt Manish is getting into helis, if what the wind told me can be believed

Planes are boring after flying helis. Its not like I dont like to fly, but that craze has reduced.
