Trying to purchase motor for the first time, need help.
Why is it when a person was asking $39.00 for a OS 40 Surpass, and when I was the first one to offer him his asking price, he sold it to a different person who came in after me. I would always give the first person the opportunity to make the purchase. I never even got a message from him or anything. Is this how things work on this site, because if it is, I really don't think it is appropriate. We all have the same thing in common here and I would like to think that everyone is courteous and respectful. Am I wrong or is it dog eat dog here. Why would anyone jump in after I already gave an offer of the asking price? Please advise, anyone. Thank you

Could have been any number of reasons or just a mistake.
Or just the fact that people today are less respectful of things like that than they used to be.
No big deal, find another seller or take your chances on Ebay. At least here you are probably dealing with another actual modeler.

I would always look here first. There are a few in this hobby who try to rip people off but they usually get a reputation pretty quickly and everyone knows to avoid them. My experience has been that the vast majority of RC hobbyists are decent trustworthy folks, I have never been ripped off by a seller on RCU. You really never know who is on the other end of an Ebay transaction.
Also check the reviews for the engine you are looking to buy. The user review section on here is a valuable resource and has saved me from buying thigs that were less than good more than once.
