Classifieds??

[Crawlerjedi]

It keeps people from turning a great forum into a rc classified ads section. Plus it keeps the riff raff out. There's one for me 19 and counting

[Blkout]

Just putting in my .02, but as someone just getting back into the rc hobby and brand new to crawling, this site is an amazing recourse. I actually support the 30/30 rule as it insures that new members contribute to the site in some way before taking advantage of some of its perks.

But it looks like there is no other option for me. Hopefully there will be something in the classifieds for me.

posts dont have to be questions - or comments either.

I started out here by starting a thread about the truck i am building, progress pics, etc...30/30 before you know it!

(altho I did pony up the $20 to support a great site, and get into the giveaways! and being a full time student & jobless - that is a huge sum for me right now - but well worth it imho)

I paid my $20 today, but can't see the classifieds yet. Any ideas?

Are you allowed to edit your price on your item for sale? Or is that considered bumping? Thanks

You can edit the original post all you want. It won't move it back to the top though.

Oh ok. Thanks. I wasn't looking to move it to the top, just lower the price.

Hi,
New to the site and completely understand the use of the 30/30 system to avoid scammers, it's just a shame you can't even view the classifieds while being blocked from posting on them, as It would have been nice to get price references on what sells for what 2nd hand second hand.

Glad I found this thread, it answered a lot of questions for me about the classifieds.

Just this month, a hobby store opened down the street from me and I wandered in and it has re-ignited my interest in RC. I've been out of the hobby for probably over 5 years, but I still have a modded out Jugg 2, an E-maxx, an AE B4, Tamiya Hummer and Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin. I feel like I'm leaving something out. Anyway, all run but the Jugg. Seeing what is on the shelf now is incredible and I think I want to get back into it and get a scaler. So I've been reading up on all I can and this site has a ton of info.

Not quite ready to buy something yet. Gonna have to save up and learn more, so I'm not sure if I will try and do the 30/30 or buy a star when I get closer, but it would be nice to buy a used scaler over a new one.

I am on a bunch of other forums (mostly food and grilling, but have been on Jeep ones and offroad ones and even RCMT way back in the day), so I know how they work. Hopefully I can find ways to contribute. I don't want to build a count number by saying cool truck and stuff. I usually don't speak up unless I have something to contribute. Anyway, I rambled on. Cool site and glad to be here.

[jeepnvinny]

Thanks for the info

that I can understand ,but what I still a little confused on is if I were to buy a star I could do the same thing? Not saying i'm going to scam anyone but really whats $20.00 going to cover if someone gets screwed over for $150.00 or higher having to buy a star to see classifieds is imo a helmet head rule

I see you bought a star so I was just wondering how many giveaways have you won or recieved

The higher percentage of people that cruise the Internet just to be Trolls, scam people or are simply out to be dillholes, historically do not cough up $20 or more to do wrong... They usually just move along to an easier FREE target.

Also, even if a person does shell out the $20, it isn't a free pass to be an idiot. The forum rules still apply and then they risk being infracted, suspended or even banned ultimately losing the $20.

Spend $20 or more just to scam people... Doesn't "usually" happen.
Risk that $20 or more to then be caught scamming etc.. Doesn't "usually" happen.

lol I totally understand what your saying but being the age I am I also know it takes money to make money. im just simply saying its kinda a dumb rule to have to shell out 20 to see classifieds. not a troll or trying to piss anyone off I just don't get it I guess , this site looks a lot like rc tech an I don't remember that as a rule

You don't have to pay the $20....you can always go the 30 days and 30 posts route.

Over the last few years I have won my money back 1000 fold. The top dollar items I won were a Futaba 4pl and a Wraith kit. That's about $500 in prizes right there...not including the countless other giveaways I have been lucky enough to win.

[winnerone23]

I have won a few giveaways and it was worth a good amount more then my first star(gold star). I didn't get my star till after I had my posts and days in. I put the time in and found the classisfieds after. Then I started saving huge amounts of money and built a few rigs with the parts off the for sale section. With in which time I donated 50$(which I have saved on a single purchase, more then once) to the site to support it and be included in the giveaways..

Its a great site and well worth keeping around! So if you want to save a pile of money, drop the twenty! Or put ur time in an figure it out in another 18 posts.... :thumbup:

[Billy D]

Yes but being new and supporting the site go hand in hand in my opinion. It is defiantly worth it for sure. If your new and starting a project then you most defiantly have 30 questions.

you will probably save that initial 20 bucks on your first purchase off the forums im fairly new but i have learned a lot from this site in a very short period of time and i have learned that the rcc peeps are a tight knit group never been on a site comparable to this especially with all the great comunication that is on this site i would pay twice as an annual due to have access to this site! :thumbup:

[Carlos the Jackhole]

so... you're complaining because you can't get to the hidden classifieds, because you want to save money?

then buy a star, like i did... it's sooo worth it, to be able to peek at the goodies, and save tons of money!
