[dominic]

hey guys i have a 550 carbon fiber with full metal head carbon blades and carbon tail,and 3 new canopys and 2 used,i will keep my motoe andall electronics, what shoud i ask thanks,also fram is doubled up on lower bottom parts becaus it was to flimsy ,i thought

You might get more for it if you sell the parts separately. For example, i won't ever buy lower CF frame parts again and i have no need for 550 CF blades and don't see the point of using a CF boom. I might be interested in the canopies and have a friend that has a 550 and he might be interested in the full metal head.. or at least the flybar seesaw and cage.
If you want to sell it all at one shot, you should check the for sale sections in the forums to see how cheap used 550 packages (and other heli packages) are going for. It's amazing.
If it was me, i would part it all out and hope for the best.

Have any pictures? How many flights are on it? In what condition are all the bits and pieces? With no electronics at all its tough to expect too much. Hell I may be interested though!

(that one doesn't even have the cfs)

With the above being said you can usually get half of what you paid new for a used item. If its 450 new witha few metal bits than your looking at starting at 225 for your first asking price. Let's see some pics. Long or short boom?

i will just keep it then i have like 800.00 of stuff here , it will just look pretty on the shelf,i will sell the canopys they are the ones at helidirect the blue one and the yellow and green ,i wouls take 25.00 shipped

Well now you know what to expect when selling anything rc. It really is tough. If you will never use it again I personally would rather have the money. But, sadly, that's how it goes.

Yup, 1/2 of the original cost is usually what things go for, and that's how i'm buying every heli from now on.
Hey, it won't cost you anything to list it for sale at 75% of cost or more so why not give it a shot?
