RE: RC hobby Market SLUMP?
If you are talking about things here in the RCU marketplace I think maybe some of it has to do with the sellers. I make offers and then dont here back until they send a PM asking for more than what they originally asked for or they just dont respond or follow through. Case in point, recently I made an asking price offer on an item minutes after it had been posted, after a few days of not getting a response I email the seller and he tells me that there are others offereing more. While I cant fault the guy for taking a better offer, why would you post a price, get that offer within no time flat and then not sell it because you are holding out for a better price.
Lots of folks use the classified like an auction. After offering asking price on several items I have yet to have a follow through from the seller. Just my 2 cents and why I am less releuctant to buy on the marketplace now.
