Ion worth

[FredMnkyDad10]

Still digging into my stuff.

extra board, original frame and body housing.

Yes the body and frame are aftermarket aluminum body.
I cannot remember for sure, but I think this might be a ans body.
Frame i Think same that did the scorpion frames. But again not sure.
maybe others that remember better than I do can chime in.

[Meleager7]

Cool , i’ll Keep an eye out if this goes up for sale

[Pumpytrilly1]

I would start at 150 obo for the lot

[BrickHaus]

That frame is probably wprth 150 alone honestly.

I think its a warrior body.

Parted you could likely peel 350 out of it. 150 frame, 35 body, 45 mech kit, 25 bolt

I say that reluctantly wanting to snipe it and mech it myself.

If you need the money part it. If you dont, Id take it for 150 to build another mech ion.

If you part it, please let me buy that bolt at least. I have a double barreled ion I just fielded for the first time, and it has mis matched bolts. ones red, ones stock. Id LOVE a red bolt/ blue bolt combo.

[Pumpytrilly1]

That's the only bummer, its worth more parted out.

[BrickHaus]

I wanna say the frame is an element

[FredMnkyDad10]

Thanks all, Brick I am going to look at your build. I will also keep you in mind.
thanks

[BrickHaus]

Fred,

I think you ought to at least try it meched. They are a blast to shoot.

Id be happy to give pointers on your progress if you need.

If ya dont like it after the fact, parting it out on ebay will yeild the most money. If you are a purist, you may feel better about the selling it whole as its a nice build.

Just shoot me a pm if you need mod pointers.

Who's buying ion parts at that price? I couldn't even sell a triple ion I tried to part

Its all about WHAT parts.

If I recall, that tripple ion hate machine was mainly stock ions with some electronics wired into them. The 2 outer bodies were all I was interested in, thats why you never saw an offer outta me.

The only thing of value in the ion world today is aftermarkets.


i have been eyeing a Sith ion frame on ebay that was listed for 115. That mfer sold while I was watching it. I was hoping the price would drop so I just left it in my cart, it didnt, sold full price.

from my expierence, aftermarket frames are the single most valuable ion upgrade out there, and the element frame is a nice one.

My numbers may be slightly inflated, but I bet he can get 25-45 for the body. He can get 100-150 for the frame. 25 for the firing can, 25 on the bolt, 40 for the mech kit, and 40 for the electronics ( more if he has blackheart or other nice board)

So that being said its likely worth maybe 300? Parted it really comes down to what someone will pay the day of, but ions are on the upswing due to meching em. But guys meching ions just want sweet aftermarket parts for em, so its kinda hard to put a value on em.

T boards, Mac noids, tech t bolts.... Sold the boards and noids got my money sent the rest to scrap.

[BrickHaus]

Thats just it, you couldnt get someone to take the working gun for a reasonable price, but parted out, people paid premium for the parts they wanted.

Facebook offers higher paid prices... and how the seller comes across is a big variable as well.

When you disparage the item you're selling, it doesn't help the sale.
