Does this irritate you too?
I have noticed a trend among some people who advertise on rcuniverse. So many times, I will find something, a plane, engine, car, etc. that I want to buy/bid on, but I need more info. I will post a question only to be ignored. I find this rude and very annoying. Often times, I never get a response. Either the originator sells the item and just doesn't bother to remove it or takes the item down. C'mom folks, have some common decency and respond to queries in a timely manner, please. Anyone else having similar issues?

RE: Does this irritate you too?
I just ran across your post, so I'll throw it out to you honestly. I checked your market rating, 1 buy for a small item in 13 months of membership...could be a reason not to take your inquiries too seriously, aka wasting time. What irks me is receiving offers in the questions area, questions already described in the ad, or being asked for pictures on a new in box item, completely unnecessary, with the ratings that I earned. I want alert, ACTIVE buyers that know what he is shopping for. Makes my life so much easier.

Just my opinion.

Does Tower give you actual photos? Why do you buy from them with a stock photo? It's because it's time consuming, disturbs the contents of the box, and as I said, I check the rating of the member asking me to do the extra work for him, and if he only bought 1 thing in a year, I wait to sell it to the seasoned marketplace member who would be more reasonable and take it on faith. Lots of window shoppers, lots of kids wishing for a plane come August birthday, I get all the comments. A sale certainly merits more pictures, I usually ask for the offer being tentative on pictures later, so I know I have more than a dreamer on my hands.
Some haven't bought a thing in the last three years. Chances are, the picture does me little good with that record. I find RCU to be my primary source of RC goods, and sales. It's working fine for me.

Dude, you are not tower Hobbies. I do care how much feedback you have, but your account could be hacked, your spouse/kid/anybody could be dealing in your name, countless things could happen at your household, that cannot happen with Tower. Please do not compare yourself to them. They have the authorization to use the stock photo. There is no way that they can take an individual photo of every item. Now here in RCU, unless you are registered as a vendor, you should not be selling more than one of any specific item at a time. If you are selling multiples, then you have to upgrade to vendor status. Sorry if you ARE a vendor, I do not have the time right now to research your status right this moment.
