I've bought some stuff from that guy, I think it might be a way he helps pay for things. Bet he could tell you what anything is worth.

Buying and selling could be a hobby in its self. However, there are some guys on here that clearly seem to operating a hobby shop through the classifieds here, always selling new stuff, more than one, etc.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I would bet 2/3 or more of his posts are "TTT" an"BUMP"

Mark has booted other folks from RR for selling an excess amount of stuff. One such person I bought my first Caliber 90 from...I'm sure some of you know who he is...he had a tremendous amount of kits.

I wonder what happened to that guy.

3 years is enough time wasted. Taking a break for a while.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		That brings up a question, I looked through RR's classified policy and didn't exactly see anything that says "you can't sell more than xxx amount of items in a certain time period"... I'm wondering if I'm missing it, what constitutes too much stuff being channeled through a user's account via the classifieds, and how is it determined that the person is "running a business" as opposed to someone who just buys and sells a lot of junk?

Heck I know everytime I "turn over" in a hobby I have a lot of different ads running on various websites.

You'll know because "The Man" will "gray line" you first and then delete you if you don't behave.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		How do you have any time to build if you are constantly buying/selling something?

Also, to me, it seems impossible to even come close breaking even buying/selling.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Yeah, I know a local here that buys helis off the net, parts em out, and makes some money. It's really the only way to get a profit, parting out.

I could definitely understand that. There is some sort of weird pleasure in disassembling something as complex as a helicopter. Then again, it's thrilling when you can reassemble it and have it running properly, too


Could be why I am also a sewing machine mechanic LOL

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		The more gear on a heli, the cheaper it goes for also fully loaded puts them in a higher 'price' bracket which generally reflects on the market appeal, or target audience 'lower'.
Not so many guy's hunting used, have £500-700 in there pockets.

Ive always averaged 20% ish, doesnt sound like much for the effort, but when you enjoy doing it and it pays for youre own hobby it's a worthwhile past-time.

Best bit is my wife supports it, and is utterly clueless as to which ones are mine

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Ok Cranet is still around but not in heli much . I worked with him in partnership he had no shop it was his personal cash and yes he baught tons of stuff and never used it also I built many Helis and never flew them . He was into building to see the difference in quality and wrote reviews about it . He changed his mind then did planks so he sold or traded also gave tons to me . I still have Avant and Synergy . He was full of info and went to mmanufactures to talk to them face to face . He caught he'll for his opinions but because of him I got to learn , build and fly Helis I could never afford on my own . I also gained tons of expierince for my own ventures in this hobby .I also met many good nationally known people thru Cranet . At end of day he would say **** the money we had fun that's what counts



I dont know how to fly just how to not crash !!!!!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Buy and sell, but please at least know what you sell

I once bought a used pair of v-blades. They arrived with some very visible nicks. I confronted the seller and he said he bought the blades from someone else and never opened up the box, just posted a sales ad on RR again and grabbed the description from the original seller that said "v-blades in mint condition, satisfaction guaranteed."

I ended up using them as test blades and ground setup.
