I'm guessing the remote cost around $75.00 or so (maybe more, I don't know). The upgraded tilt bail I think cost's around $40 (correct me if I'm wrong). And I think Mike sells the upgraded tuning knob for around $10. So add it up... Lets make the R8 $450 on ebay. Let's make the remote $40.00 Make the bail....... $20, And the tuning knob $5.00 $515.... not to far off the mark, and I've discounted all the add ons. Looks like a good enough price to me.

stupid people should't give opinions. it is "too", not "to" that
should is used to express relative values. remote control is worth $75 tiltbail is worth $35 knob is worth $10 receiver alone is worth $499 as seen by several recent sales. total value is $620 !!!!!!!!! I am offering a good deal. also it has the original box. (Rigali5) wrote in message ... About $125.00 to much ! |

Get in touch with Mike at:
He sells the metal knob. chuck wrote: what is this upgraded tuning knob about?? is it better than the one on an r8b if so were can i get one? chuck Mike's knob is nice. I would prefer one without the finger dimple but he doesn't make one like that. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
