I've got a TRex 500 in the garage that is gathering dust - haven't flown heli's since I got into astronomy.

I'd have to pull it out and make sure it works, but I'd be happy to part company with the heli and all of it's electronics (servos & gyro), two batteries (will need to make sure they're still good) and a charger for $250. To this you'd need to add a transmitter (my transmitter is 36Mhz and mode 1).

These sort of heli's aren't for the feint of heart. The coaxial ones that you see flying in the shopping centres are "inherently stable", where as a conventional heli is like a woman - "it's got a mind of it's own and it's always doing something".
