Help with blade cp.

[Clean]

I want to buy used blade cp and i found one guy selling it and it says


This is for a used Blade CP R/C Electric Helicopter. The helicopter has been thoroughly tested and everything functions properly. The blades are slightly nicked. This helicopter is ready to fly.

Is it good the pictures look good but what is with The blades are slightly nicked ?

Blades are generally considered to be "consumable" items and are easily replaced. They are available from most online helicopter retailers.

This guy sells a lot of blades with exactly the same description. Even looks like mox
stly the same pictures. Having said that, I've been bidding on them all week trying to get one for a friend. Nicked blades means they've been crashed. May also mean a bent main gear and spindle. My advice is keep a price in mind and stick to it. Leave yourself some room for parts. I haven't been going over $80 on any of this guys, who knows what kind of shape they're really in. To sum up, i was able to win another auction for $100 with a much better description and (hopefully) more trusty seller. This one said it had minor damage, but all the replacements are included.

Whats wrong with that ?Uh, dude, 4-in-1 is 65-75 bucks. That one's not worth more than 25-35 bucks without it.

Hey CLEAN

I bought a cp with the 4-n-1 bad from the seller you mention on EBAY for 45.00 and replaced it with the 3-n-1 for 60.00. As for blades you will go through
your share just keep your eye open for the deal that feels right. Its like anything thing else when you buy used you take a risk just buy with your credit card for protection..

Heli-direct is great for parts and they ship fairly fast.

As far as your BCP bidding (if you haven't got one yet) keep an eye out for "like new condition". You should still be able to find one for around $100. Since this is your first blade, you need it complete as possible until you learn how things work. Unless you know somebody who has experience, you don't need to inherit somebody elses failure. Also don't be afraid to pay a little (little) more if it has upgrades. And by that, I mean metal parts. I personally would stay away from the ones you were talking about earlier. There's not enough info in the listing to be totally sure of what you'll end up with. I bought my first blade from someone like that and ended up with a box of parts (literally). I had to buy a barebones kit locally to replace all the broken pieces. I did get a partial refund from the seller to pay for the parts, so it all worked out, but I wouldn't expect that from this guy. Although I learned a lot while rebuilding it, I don't recommend this method.
