Tech Rookie
I know alot of you guys on here get irritated like me when you see some of these for sale threads. So I decided to compile a list of my for sale negatives.
1. Cleanliness is next to godliness lol. CLEAN YOUR STUFF BEFORE YOU TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR STUFF!!! Do you really expect to sell something covered in mud and dirt? That is a complete turn off of purchase for me. All that tells me is that you don't care about your item at all, you probably beat the crap out of it, and have alot of issues with it so you just want to get it off of your hands.
2. POST PICTURES. Do you know how annoying it is to click on a thread only to be greeted by no pics? That just shows laziness, again a complete purchase turn off. "I dont know how to post pics here, Ill text or email you pics". That phrase just screams i stole pics from somebody else and i have a better chance of not getting caught if i dont post them for everybody to see.
3. "I got to get this gone", "I need this outta here" and whatever other meth addict phrases you say. That just sounds like your a crack head who just stole something and looking to fence it. It does not make me want to buy.
4. ALUMINUM PARTS DOES NOT INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR RC $1000. You can put all the bling you want on a tmaxx, but at the end of the day its still just a tmaxx. Its your money pit, don't bling it out if you dont plan on keeping it because you will never recoup all that money.
5. 400 + shipping + paypal fees. Really? Paypal fees? Dude YOUR SELLING AN ITEM, THEREFOR THEY ARE YOUR SELLER FEES. Nobody asked YOU to sell YOUR item. YOU made a conscious decision to sell something, YOU take the hit. As soon as I see + paypal fees, thats my que to exit thread immediately.
6. Feller thread. What the heck is a feller thread. Every thread is a feller thread. If you dont get the price you want, your not going to sell. Isn't every thread like that?
If you follow this guide your item will sell.
I want to hear what anybody else has to add to the list.

The SNL reference had nothing to do with beating a dead horse. And as for responding to your post several weeks later when I had time, that's hardly beating a dead horse. Bitching about the rule involving paypal fees for several pages, and arguing with everyone that responded to you is the definition of beating a dead horse. Whatever. It's refreshing to see yet another keyboard cowboy that can't be joked with, or told he's wrong. Have a good one.

Let him fade into oblivion where he belongs.

Kylar,
Perhaps the moderator needs to consider closing this thread. It started with complaining, and the complaining will never stop. Now, we have you complaining over people complaining over my posts complaining on the complainers complaining over PP fees.
Confused yet
Lets see how far we can bring it.
Complaining over asking PP fees
Complaining over people complaining over PP fees
Complaining over people complaining about my complaining over PP fees
Complaining over my response to people complaining over my complaining on the complaining over PP fees.
What's next?
Complaining other people are complaining knowing I'll respond to the complaining regarding all of their complaining over the paypal fees....
For me personally --- I'm now complaining that in your complaining Kyler over Marvin's complaining over my complaining regarding the complaining over PP fees you called me a troll and wished I'd fade into oblivion.
Now I'm complaining over you calling me an oblivion troll.

. Nobody is above anybody in this sillyness. We're a bunch of grown men playing with toys. Do you expect any less?

Piece of advice for those this may apply to....
Do not go expecting full price, or even over full price over what you can get an item for at a well known retailer (Storm, Tower, Amain, etc...) --- EVEN IF it is N.I.P.
The second that item touches your hands it's already dropped 30% from the lowest price out there. Doesn't matter what YOU paid.
Quick sell = 30 to 35% off lowest known price in market. Quicker sell... 40 to 45% off or more. BUT... Don't expect under a 25% discount and don't expect the buyer to eat any of the shipping.
This is a swap meet on RCT pretty much. Leave the retail prices where they belong.... With the retailers.....
