Default Value of Yokomo YR-F2 Special.

Hi all,
Ive decided after a long break (20+ years) to give racing a go again hopefully getting my young lad into the hobby too. I used to race a Kyosho Lazer ZX then later a Yokomo YR-F2 Special that didn't get much use.

After digging it all out the loft, Im looking to sell all my old stuff to put towards a new kit but wondered what a used YRF2 is worth nowadays? The Lazer is well used so not worth much but the Yokomo has some marks on the underside but generally good condition and has some spares. Will put it in the classifieds here and most likely EBay too but not a clue what its worth.
All advice gratefully received.

A guy On here sold their standard f2 for £75 I believe. I was interested myself but couldn't go any higher. A special would be worth over a £100 in my estimation.

YR-F2 Specials in new built condition have sold on ebay for £150-200, although any signs of use will affect its value.

If you split out the lazer into usefull spare parts you should get some budget out of that: there're quite a few people still running those ... I should probably do the same with mine but am a bit lazy when it comes to those things: post office is a long walk and closed when i'm off work

Thank you all for the advice, will take some photos and get it on eBay. Didn't realise the lazer still had value so may look at breaking that as can't seem to find the shocks.

The sharks will come fishing on here like they did for mine, I'd suggest ebay starting low and it will find its price

Thanks again for the advice, I've put the Yokomo on eBay as buy it now with offers accepted, maybe a little high but see what happens, I'm not in a hurry.

Ive put a link in the classifieds here but just realised I've put it in standard classifieds not vintage.

Sorry for the delay guys. It went for £160 in the end which I thought was reasonable.
