How about a Kyosho Caliber .30 for $800?
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/tag/4484253903.html

Or a used Walkera Dragonfly for $275?
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/tag/4467756126.html

This one had me going there for a few seconds until I realized it was a real one man helicopter, not RC. $16,500.00.

I shamefully bought this exact combo in 2012 from a shady hobby shop- pretty sure I paid over $400 for it. Stupid purchase before researching anything, however, if it weren't for buying it I would have never discovered the hobby- and still using the DX6i

Off topic but, that is easy to work around, as we get that at work too.
Just click the URL in the address bar at the end of the "http" and add an "s" then refresh the page. ( e.i. ' https' )

These poor birds have been for sale for at least the last four months. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/for/4526108195.html

I'm not related to that last one but I would love to see them find a home.
The 1st one is just ridiculous, a very, very, very old X-Cell 60 that he paid $5000 for, that's
R50 000 in SA just absolutely nuts!!!

And the 2nd one, "The best little helicopter around"?? I'm sure I with my 450 titan will disagree, and those old things he's selling were crap!!! I remember people at our flying field struggling their bottoms off to get those things in the air
And he wants $275 for all three....uhm no

Very cool thread though

This one is fully priced

http://medford.craigslist.org/tag/4429848967.html

And demonstrating what a small RC world it is...I think I know this guy (below). Note to self, NO more RC helicopters this year. None. Zero. You do NOT need a 700 size.....

Me too. New to cp helis, didn't do my research, trusted the shop owner who shall remain nameless (he is in the Berkshires), got an overpriced terribly made and pita to fly helicopter that cause great agony. Yes, I'll never forget my first bitter, hostile, and unfriendly hobby shop owner. :-)

And what happens to the heli builder that will sell you a perfectly flying heli, and give you the tx settings for it also for your tx?
That would be worth the 500 bucks, for a heli you can fly.
I did that for a friend of mine, to keep him from quitting...
He was pissed at the Hype, and I gave him a flyable heli, and helped him with understanding how things worked.

It always has me thinking as to who they stole it from when you see it on Craigslist.

This guy originally wanted $100 for a cheap mall kiosk coaxial heli. Now its down to $55.
I think that Macy's had them for 70% off after Christmas.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/tag/4499173098.html

This one was good too, how about $800 for a Kyosho Caliber 30.
