What is up with all the lowballers????
It seems lately when I troll the classifieds that almost every thread has a lowball offer??? I mean granted I want some of the stuff too, but I'm not going to make a stupid low offer that I know won't be accepted. Do these guys actually think they'll take $200 for an RTR 1/8th scale buggy!!!???? C'mon man.

Lowalled offers is kinda loaded statement. U might give 10000 for a racer. But it's only worth what someone is willing to pay what u think is fair they might not.. but I've also seen people trying to make a killer amount off *carp* what makes them different from the lowball offers? I just seen a brushless erevo ran about a hour if? With the New tqi radio go for 275. I think it was low but they thought it was a fair price.

I'm not taking sides, but there are for sure a bunch of guys on here that should not be allowed to access the FS/FT forums. They make the threads look like crap when they put up what they think it's worth, and their PMs just flood your inbox after you don't respond to their 1/4 price offer.....
That blew off some steam

That's definitley not what he meant.....I am pretty sure that he just means that if you're not looking to spend a lot of money on this hobby, then it really isn't for you. It's expensive, we all know it, and that won't change.

Fact is the global economy is weak, people are wanting more for their money and a lot more people are in financial difficulty and selling off rc gear to get by week to week. Perfect scenario for predatory shoppers and some of the offers you get can be down right insulting, but if fewer people are buying, and you need the funds urgently, they no if you don't bite, someone else will.
Noone said anything about rc was fair.

Value is relative man, but it is real also. If I can buy it for 150.00 and you are asking 200.00 I will make the "lowball' offer of 150.00. I like to keep my cash in the forums, because I have gotten some awesome deals here, but I ain't gonna pay new prices for used goods. On that note it amazes me how people are trying to sell for a buck or 2 less than what you can buy something new for, or sometimes even higher and then when you let them know they get all huffy. My prices are always best offer and if I am way off base I hope someone lets me know, just do it with tact. I have seen both ends of the spektrum and it can get crazy, there are probably 20 threads on here where folks are selling used goods that are at the same price or higher than new.

i don't think i am rich by any means...i work 6 days a week to pay for my hobby. thats why i can go out of control to buy all the cars in my sig...i may not have time to run them all, but i like the fact that i can enjoy them at the local track at my leisure. i have also donated cars and cash to people with causes on here and to local racers that have broken something that don't have the funds to replace what broke or don't have the ability to do so........
so i don't know what you meant by that comment...i do have an awesome attitude
