so much high prices for the old one...

Please do post LOCAL price comparisons instead of just making comments about high prices (then it would be fair).

see previous sale price..
http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale-completed/band-new-futaba-7c-2-4-ghz-for-sale-!!!/

1. This is a current technology radio, so if maintained well, it would not lose much value.

2. Someone selling a similar radio at a price of his choice does not decide the market rate, the comparison should be against retail prices or multiple classifieds.

3. This has extra neck strap balancer.

4. The seller has clarified that there is room for negotiation.

In any case, the seller should post multiple photos of the item for the audience to gauge the condition of the item. It is among the guidelines for classifieds here.

I agree with you Anwar bhai, this really bad to mock the sale price of the seller.

I have personally seen this radio, and know this fact very well that this radio is taken care of more than any thing else and is just like a new one.

I my self have imported a Futaba 7C from tower recently (and know very well, how difficult it is to get it through customs, and of course it costs money and time for this process, I think this is a very fair deal), if not you might not have seen this thread at all.

Shadman bhai has been so genuine with this sale that, he refused my offer to give me the balancer alone, he clearly told me that radio will accompany balancer. As far as I know this radio was put on a screen protector, which costs not less than $5 to 7.

I think this is quite a fair deal.

This is the 2.4g radio, correct?
Please do post some pictures

As a general , brand new and old iems should have some differences in price..
and just think ..
if 2 items are available for you , 1 is old and other is new , at same price ...
then most probably , u will prefer new one..
and i also think .no one can decide price for items belonging to others..
but same item sales in past can indicate near by market value ...
for retail prices of this item in RC stores, i think u know better than me...
and some other classifieds in past..

i am just representing my view...
not want to mock anyone..

Divyam this is a good opportunity to have a Futaba, very conveniently.

If you are really interested just contact Shadman, and see this radio in person.


I myself might have grabbed this if not imported one recently.


funny smilies without any text, what does that mean?

Of course... but the key is by HOW MUCH !  And that depends on the item.  That is what I meant by [1] above.

And the links you posted have no relevance in India. I am sure you are aware of customs duties and hassles.  This type of pricing difference is common for many other items, what comes immediately to my mind is iPhones which are cheap in the second hand market in the US, but fairly expensive here.

I agree With above. It is sellers choice how much he wants to sell, even some people donate items in sweepstakes, Anwar Bhai have donated a Radio, But certainly that doesn't mean, every body should do that.

I know from my recent experience, how difficult it is to get Radio shipped inside India.

And Prices of goods available in other Country, can't be a criteria of prices in our Country.

Anwar Bhai how much does Mangoes costs in Doha, here it's  :Rs:15 to  :Rs:50, and don't forget to mention this fact to shop keeper if asks for more LOLs (sorry if they are not available at all, we enjoy them here)

Mangoes are not available on ebay. otherwise it will cost almost the same.

I would agree with crazy ... i could arrange a NIB futaba 7c for approx 19k.... i see no point in buying a second hand for 16k.... also please remember u have no clue as to whether the receiver has recd any internal damage from a crash, handling etc ... i have myself witnessed the perfect of looking receiver having range faults after a crash.... a new receiver in such a case would set you back by 6k....

Now that is valid information, and that is how it should be mentioned (assuming this pricing is achievable in practice). 

Even then, if the item is well maintained, Rs.3K (or more, considering the neck strap balancer) is not chump change... it could go a long way into getting a spare receiver.

First of all let me be clear that I have no interest in this sale, not financial, nor in any other way.

One Thing I am noting here is that one of the forum member above, is giving personnel flavor to his postings, this thing is noted by me second time here on this thread.This is RC brotherhood forum and I am seriously thinking how this forum is getting demeaned by such replies.

OK I can understand very well know the whole exercise is to arrange a radio in 19K. This is a planned degrading of this sales thread by a set of people, first mocking up the sales price than, than posting ebay links, which are highly misleading, other USA online stores links, and finally offering their own radio!

If they are getting into RC business with such practices, I highly doubt their credibility.

The poster him self have sold(I doubt probably resold) many a times, ON THIS FORUM items with higher price so he have no moral ground to preach others. Links are as below:

http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale/some-more-items-for-sale/msg67374/#msg67374


http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale-completed/some-items-for-sale-at-good-price/msg65033/#msg65033

These threads are self explanatory. And not surprisingly, no gentlemen on this forum had tried to demean there threads. A FM radio for 5k and Futaba 7c for 7k / 8k I have my own reservations.

My request... let us not discuss this further.  Everything that needs to be said, seems to have been said already.  Everyone can make informed decisions, since both sides seems to have been discussed in detail.

As a last bit, I would like to highlight the "negotiable" part of the sellers post.  Let us leave it at that, and I hope this sale works out well for both the seller and any buyer.

The personal flavour is called helping fellow RCers who just jump seeing something fancy. As u said this is RC brotherhood forum. so its a brother helping another to get the right thing for the right price.



Not a radio but the one in question, Futaba 7C (Full set with servos for 19000 Brand NIB). Please answer why the ebay link is misleading? nobody offered their own radio. u think a person looking for Futaba 7C 2.4G would settle for a JR Fm radio. No there is no plan to get into RC business as there is not enough sale volume but if it ever happens be assured u will get the items at intl. prices.


Please let me know which product i sold was priced higher? Dont u get the idea of NIB and used things? I recently bought a Turnigy 9x for 5500 and now its available for 4600 in India. so do u think if i bought it fo 5500 and even after using it someone will purchase it for even 4600. think again. also nobody is trying to demean others sale but these replies somehow got mixed with this thread.
http://www.rcindia.org/wanted/wanted-7-ch-futaba-or-spektrum-2-4ghz-or-72mhz/msg70812/#new

The FM radio was JR XP662 6 channel Radio Mode 2 72 Mhz with 2 Rx, 1 pair of extra crystal, Lipo battery, 4 Hitec servos, charger, neck strap etc. all this for 5000. Futaba 7c New (tx only) is available for 10000.

PS- requesting moderator to cut & paste reply no 16 & 18 to http://www.rcindia.org/wanted/wanted-7-ch-futaba-or-spektrum-2-4ghz-or-72mhz/msg70812/#new

Akshay ... boss... no one is selling or getting into the RC buss. out here ... all said was that the radio can be got into India for 19k ... so stop making assumptions and acting as if you are preaching to the choir..... Also, no one said that you are doing this out of interest or financial gains so where did that come up from ... are you guilty or is that just you ??

Brothers , i think this thread had  reached LOC, insulting others personaly doesnt suits this forum , since this forum feels me like a friendship community.......

Jai hind

good night

For my own clarification (and for others who may be in the market for new radios)... is this the landed cost in India, including routinely applicable customs ?  If so, it is a very nice price ! Otherwise, I am worried we may be misleading beginners (and unintentionally diluting this sales thread).

Secondly, let us not accuse one another of sales tactics.  Doesn't seem like that was the intention of anyone. This 16K is a wishful number (which the seller is entitled to), and the seller has clarified that there is room for negotiation.  Why can't we just leave it at that ?

wo.. so much has happened in here .. comon guys u got to read before you feed..
""16k (negotiable)""  means something ..i m offering accessories worth close to 3k ... dont u guys get the POINT...
 ..  this isnt a window shopping  counter .. 
and then someone poops about "damaging receiver in a crash".. what do u mean by that? well dude seriously i doubt your flying skills ,so please dont find urself in others...
because   GROWN UPS cushion pack the receiver before flying    (did u know)?
.. 
and yes who ever sells that futaba 7c  NIB for 19k ...   i can tell you that he is making a tons of dough.... (its available for 13k now in india... )

i have quoted 16k .. coz it costed me a hell lot getting it shipped down to india ..and running around to custom department is a PIA.. ..
 

and yes mangoes do cost thrice the price on ebay... and 4times the cost .. alibaba

http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/african-mango-fruit.html       see it for urself      so Mrs.crazy pilot i dont agree with you...

i know i m offending a lot of people out here.. thats coz this thread was meant for selling a radio and not for discussing the prices,, This place has become a fish market.. and i have lost patience selling off my fish
 im going to stick with my quotation.. 16k of course negotiable 

SERIOUS INTERESTED BUYERS CAN PM ME.... and ONLY SERIOUS INTERESTED BUYERS should comment.... 

 

Please provide the link where its available for 13K in India. I would like to buy one for myself.


Sir, i was referring to DESI mangoes. the afro ones do cost a lot.

PS- No offense taken.

 
@crazy pilot: i will .. let my radio sell off.. about the desi mangoes.. thats a "ill-humour"..

SIR
Negotiation is always the last step....
not the first one...
it depends person to person, but i think :
it is always better to prefer a reasonable firm price than negotiable high price.

Sir
i am also interested in knowing the hobby store in India selling Futaba 7c set in 13k.

so let me get this straight.. are planning to pick up this radio?? coz if u are , then surely u have all the rights in the world to negotiate and convince over the price... i will entertain ur pm over this negotiation... other wise it doesnt really matter to me ,what u think is the firm reasonable price..    

ps: i like the heat in here wow..

well have patience son.. let my radio sell out.. i ll let u know.. i ll give u a hint : its not a hobby shop

Mr. Alam..... if u want to know about my flying skills come to delhi I am sure you can learn a lot .... as far as u getting the radio for 13k .... wow ... please help me in getting one and stop robbing people by posting your overrated price..... oh and as far as the receiver packed in foam is concerned, i guess the word used is foam and not steel .... oh by the way no offence intended ... have a gr8 day ....

Mr.Divay .. i will surely meet u at noida flying field.. next time i m in delhi.. i stay in new friend's colony.. so that should not be a problem.. we can judge our skills there... and yes about the radio u could arrange for a grand price of 19k.. ..thats a damn over rated price..  the reason one buys a second hand radio is to get it cheaper.. Mr.Divay.. my radio is still 3k cheaper with accessories.. and still negotiable.. look who is robbing here..  
and about the packing the receiver.. well i still dont get it.. how do u manage to spoil it .. after packing it.. (only if its hanging outside..) .....
and it seems really interested in getting the radio for 13k..  well i thought ATLEAST u would know who is selling at that price ... i will let u know soon enough...

this is my sale thread..  and i can sell my stuff for what ever price i want to..  ..i have some privacy over it.. so stop intruding into this.. and digest the inconvenience with my price ... i have made myself absolutely clear .. 
                                                                                                                                           
regards
                                                                                                                                     

OMG what a "?", I am quite doubt full any Gentleman can tolerate these kind of posting and be there to read such rubbish.

This thread not only have degraded this famous Indian RC forum's reputation but the community feelings to the bottom.


Purposely down grading this thread, with out having any interest in the product by a set of people in name of guiding a "newbie" , I have my own reservations, what kind of guidance they can provide to newbies, with writing such a rubbish without realizing against whom they are writing the same. Shows intentions and purpose of these posters.

Yes this Radio is mine and more than that, Yashovardhan my son ( who might be some years younger than posters on this thread) have learned flying taking buddy from it, and more than that it belongs to a fellow flyer, "Shadman" who accompanies for every flying session. I told Shadman not to sell this, but being a student he runs on limited funds, and that's the reason he wanted to sell this and I wanted to help him in every way possible in selling it. He decided  bit late to sell, and I already imported a 7c otherwise, this thread might not have seen this forum at all.

It becomes very difficult for me to understand what kind of brotherhood is this where people pull legs of other fellow members in a negative way mocking the sale, it might had been  better if the postings might had been more on positive side or  advisories, that "buddy see your prices seems bit high to us, please review it", or a simple pm might have helped him.

Any way it is Moderators' choice where he want to take this forum to, with these kind  rubbish postings. And I am well aware this trend is going to lead to more of a habitual side.

Akshayb - Please amend your post above to remove name calling.

All - RC India's official policy on pricing comments on "For Sale" items is now added as item 9 in the below post.

http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale/guidelines-for-classifieds/

Please help keep this a civil place.

Anwar, my post is more Gentlemanly and Polite  than many others above, And I do not think I have pointed fingers personally  to any of the forum member, though my name was mentioned in many posts above which was not good to my taste.
 After all this your forum you are free to do what ever you feel good for it.

I am not taking sides.  There is a 4 letter word in the first line of your above post, please remove that. You are welcome to say what you want, just use parliamentary terms.

OK I think you might be considering slang meaning of that word, which also also means: MUD, impure liquid

Origin:
1375–1425; late Middle English slutte;  compare dial. ****  mud, Norwegian  (dial.) slutr  sleet, impure liquid


OK, Anwar Bhai.

Anwar Shabh, its adding bad a taste to your forum..

A humble appeal to friends, written emotions have a huge impact than verbally expressed emotions. Years down the line when we read this back, just hope that we should not feel regret for something which can’t be changed then.

All fellow members here are amazingly intelligent, smart articulate and successful in their own lives, let’s use our articulation in making the discussion more colourful and interesting rather than bitter and shady.

Ok ASinghathiya. I agree with you,

This is not my intention to be a spoil sport.

But can you tolerate your name mentioned repetitively several times, on a thread when you are making your point with facts and figures backing it. My name is mentioned several times on this thread in a bad taste, when no more argument is left with posters.

Anwar has mentioned this fact many a times that Prices mentioned on this thread are negotiable, and that was the word, which do not have any meaning in eyes of posters above.

One posts says " Negotiation is always the last step....
not the first one..." , height of it, I am in business since probably the age of this poster, and I know negotiations are first thing when we buy some thing not the last. What you can say about it "isn't they are targeting this thread intentionally",

 I am afraid if this become habit or cyclic. And I am Afraid because I have a feeling for this forum.

Asinghatiya - I only intervened to state forum policy, and to ensure the discussion is parliamentary (which is different from "heated").

As for the rest of the mudslinging, I don't want to play Idi Amin... the people  here are mature enough to decide. Except that some can only see today, others can see tomorrow, and yet others can see the day after tomorrow too.

Anwar Bhai, as I metioned earlier, It's your forum and you are the person to decide what should happen here and what not, including policies.

Of course people will decide, and make their own opinions about this thread, but I know one thing if Mud slinging happens at particular spot that spot also becomes dirty.

ok.. finally deal final.. radio booked for Haneen.. waiting for payment...
 

forget it Akshay Bhai.... i think i'd made a mistake by posting for the radio sale over here... anyways.. u must see the progress on the 30cc ... ribs are the size of my arm... wow.. we have finished the both of the wings..
 

radio sold

futaba 7c is available for 13-14k from Irshad Kolkata... the maker of irshad high/low wing planes... he has loads of futaba stock .. so feel free to contact him.. he is a very polite gentleman.. .. lately he has undergone an abdominal surgery.. he is also deals in OS engines --- his rate for OS 46 is rs 6400... thats the cheapest in the country...
i do no sophistry here... and i doubt if he has a website.. ..

And some are - or pretend to be - blind.

Please lock the topic if sale is completed.

If I have learnt anything over the past two years, it is the fact that we all are blessed with being able to forget.  "Being able to forget" is one of the greatest gifts that humans have, how else would we be able to bear things like the loss of loved ones ?  This thread will be forgotten in about 3 days.  What will remain is the policy that came out of this discussion, and I truly believe it is fair to everyone; including both the seller, buyer and well-wishers of either of those parties.

It looks like someone "negotiated", and got the radio, extras and 2 receivers for 22K... decent deal !

Leaving it unlocked as requested by some people who participated in this thread earlier. 

Thank you for accepting the request anwar ....... lets teach Mr. Akshay b? some manners and Mr. Alam of NFC some facts correct ... I shall be posting more soon ... oh btw Mr. Irshad Anwar's nephew Jamal is a close friend of mine ... and let me let you know Mr. Alam that Mr. Anwar sells that Futaba 6EX for 13k approx .. no way does he sell the 7C for the price you quoted ( yeah maybe you meant the tx without the rx ... hahahah) so stop misleading people and quoting prices ..... and as for you Akshay stop calling names, I dont want to resort to the same.... you can sell your stuff at the price of gold for all I care.... enjoy and get your reputation up rather than sitting there and cooking up stories about .... oh the Tx is mine ... buddy flier ... my son ... etc. etc etc

[Admin Note]One word edited

Not intending on teaching anybody anything, and I am on no one's side   

Please do change one word in your above post. 

PS: I guess this thread will now be forgotten in 3+1 days

 I can't say more than that about the post posted above states all about the person and his back ground and manners he knows.

And I pity  the institution which is headed by such ill mannered brain less people. What chapter they call? 

Your posts are deleted ? Please point to or explain the contents of the post, and I will investigate.  We do not delete posts except for very valid and very very rare reasons.  We do edit posts, only to remove unwanted quotes. Rest assured, I have no part in deleting anything you have posted, if you feel it is done, PM me with details.  All mods have ability to edit posts, only myself and RotorZone have the ability to completely remove posts. 

Is it possible that you started writing a post, but did not actually hit the button ?  I have not seen you post anything pricing links on this thread yet, hence the question.  If others have noticed it, then please inform me in private.  Also the posts get emailed to me, and I don't see it there too. 

About enjoying all this... what else would I do when multiple pleas to stop this fell on deaf ears ?  I will not prevent anyone from expressing themselves, as long as they do it with clean language. I will do my best to give equal opportunity to everyone, regardless of how they have interacted with me in the past.  I take pride in being above these "seasonal allergies" (for lack of a better term).

[Note Added] It seems like no posts were deleted as alleged earlier, and the reference to the same was removed by the poster himself... so this response of mine is now superficial

"Background" you say Mr. Akshay, believe you in me its much better than yours... at least I don't say things like trust me " I have no personal interest in this sale" and then state the tx is mine ... oh no its Mr . Alam's.... oh no my dog ate my homework...etc etc etc .. I am sure you must have heard the Pinocchio story ... is it growing........ come on grow up man .... get a life ... 

Mr. divay99 .. i have had a word with Mr Irshad myself... and inquired about the radio few weeks ago.. so please think before u starting doubting everyone  in the rc fraternity .. and   PLEEEEEZ Stop narrating  stories over here the best deals and reasonable prices... 19k is NOT reasonable a price for the radio either.. (u are not arranging a a gold fish... from merryland)... the radio comes up to max 16k with customs and shipping from towers.. n we both know that...
my reason of selling the radio at 16 k (negotiable) coz..of the accessories which were...
 ->i had a battery upgrade 2100mah for tx
 ->220 to 110 v converter.. for the radio charger..
 ->balancer, a neck strap (not the futaba one.. the one i used for my cam..  http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Neck-Strap-all-Cameras/dp/B0007YJJW4). 
Please argue if u have a  firm point.. its more convenient to answer u back.. and by the way i would like to know from where were u arranging that radio for 19k  ... i got my 8fg for 19.8k with shipping.. (w/o servos)from towers.. lol...

Oh and yes the ill mannered person has the following articles to his credit ... can you please show what you as a mannered person holds credit to

Mr. Alam maybe the price increased by 5 or 6K in a week hahhaha, what I know of today its for 19k from Mr. Irshad.... also, I am not doubting everybody ... its you for stating 13-14k ... if you want to clear your doubts I can arrange for a conference call between you me and Irshad bhai.. that should get things clear...... oh and btw the 7c sells on hobby king(http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9644) for 279.99 (Rs. 12879) + shipping $ 30 ( 1380) total = 14259 ... add customs @ 27% if you have a import license else 33% = approx. Rs. 3000 = 17259.... hassles of getting to get a 2.4 radio out from customs priceless.....

Guys... this is getting totally personal... Just clarify what is included in the 13K price and the 19K price, and leave it at that.  Seems like such basic information is not being posted, instead all this "you said" and "i said".

i think i was late editing my post.. i missed u guys............

Please PM me when you have better information on what is available at 13K and 19K.  That is only what matters from an RC perspective.
