LOL then dont buy it and if its over priced his option will be to lower the price till it sells. Sounds to me like someone was trying to convince the newby the stuff he had for sale was of little or no value but would do him a favor n take it off his hands. Hey sometimes it works and sometimes not. LOL
I dispose of estates on a regular basis n run into guys like that all the time. See them comming from miles away. LOL

The clown selling the junk pile wanted prices marked on the glow engine boxes when they were new. He thinks glow is still as popular as electric motors. I enlightened him on facts, showed him sold items on feebay advanced search, each link to each item in his junk box, what they sell for used, and suggested he find a local club so someone if interested could at least see if the engines weren't seized, damaged, or otherwise flawed, saving himself a PayPal dispute. He's lazy. He didn't want to list on feebay. But he ignored the market values I showed him. Feebay is rather the max you would see any kit or rc glow engine go for. That's why I sell there. He didn't want to be schooled. He's convinced he has a gold mine on his hands. He said he had a lot of people making offers, wanted me to top the offer, and then what? He goes back to someone else? I don't need mystery engines. His kits may not be complete. I rather buy from a guy that knows the hobby and is accountable for his description.
What does your crystal ball say now? How do you judge someone you have no idea what is going on, or have any history to know any pattern but project what some other person has done in the past and stereotype me with such a label? I got one for you, based upon your posts.
You are the classic forum cancer - that thinks because you've been a member since 2002, you can bully everyone else that's a member here after you, and you make RCU what it is today, a very low ranking RC forum with crickets nesting in this quiet place. When you drive off every last member to this has been site, be sure to turn off the lights.

First of all let me irritate the seller controls all aspects of the sale like it or not. His options are simple to sell it to you or not. Your options are simple as well pay an agreed upon price or walk away. You could have made an offer and said that if he didn’t sell the stuff he could contact you and see if you were still interested. Instead you chose to attempt to convince him the stuff was not worth what he was asking for it. You may have been correct I have not even looked at the stuff however you probably convinced him you really wanted the stuff and he decided to hold out for more. That too is his prerogative. So now still not satisfied you decide to post on the forum negative stuff about the seller including calling him a clown. What did you hope to accomplish that the guy would get in touch and say you had been right all the time and can I sell it to you for your last offer??????
Then why come back on the forum and post negative comments and call him a clown???? To me it sounds like sour grapes just sayin……………

Clearly you set out not to have any resolution or acknowledge the fact everyone else sees that you are routinely placing traps to antagonize, scrutinize, and constantly provoke members old and new.
Your agenda is to argue, belittle, and create conflicts with people ALWAYS choosing the worst possible light to shed on them with "probably" what they had in mind.
You project a lot of miserable behavior more than anyone I've encountered before. You thrive on this? What does this pattern actually do for you in the end but indicate an unhappy life, taking your frustrations out on others? There is no chance with anyone here you've communicated with to find some middle ground either, unless they have the same objective as you. Successful people with good relationships, careers, and hobbies, just don't do this sort of thing.

I guess I failed to mention the obvious that one must open their eyes BEFORE looking in the mirror!
Why is it that you folks insist on name-calling? I guess when one has no real argument, that is the only option, but maybe I am missing something.......

Mr. Hog we are not on a first name basis. And since you sign you posts with Astro I can only assume that if I am to address you with the respect you deserve Mr. Hog would be correct.

Thank You Andy , I appreciate your taking action here on this . I originally started this thread with the hope that it could be a friendly place for us AMA members to talk without the pressure of the whole AMA VS FAA thing getting in the way , but I guess since it's the #1 worry on folk's minds, it's what's gonna come out eventually in pretty much all the threads .And as to the iffy future of the hobby goes , here's proof of ol init4fun being the eternal optimist ;
This spring , I will be introducing the 9 year old Son of a friend of mine to RC flying using one of those "safe" equipped Horizon Hobby Cubs . I have the buddy box set up between a couple of DX-5 TXs and since the kid is said to be "addicted" to video games I'll bet he takes to controlling the plane really quickly . Sure , I know , it'll still be a hobby of controlling things with joysticks , but at least with RC planes he'll be outside in the sunshine doing it !
Here is a question that just came to me as I looked at the foam parkflyer cub that I mentioned in the post quoted above . As you can see , it has some manufacturer supplied numbers affixed to it that are of course neither my FAA number nor my AMA number . Remember , this is a 10 year old RC model built before the whole FAA UAS registration deal , which of course has the requirement of one's FAA number being on the plane , I'm wondering if these numbers are ok or if they are now to the FAA the equivalent of putting fake license plates on a car ?

I agree, I look at it the same as a license plate on my car. As long as the plate is displayed, issued to that particular car and tags are in date, I could apply all sorts of numbers on the exterior and I doubt the law would think twice about it. I think any numbers that don't start with the correct prefix are simply going to be ignored, that is if the airplane will ever be seen by anyone representing the FAA.

That's an interesting question init... my thought would be that the numbers are fine as they are meant to make the plane look like a full scale one. I believe as long as your FAA (and AMA) numbers are also there in the appropriate place(s) that it is ok. That said however, those are just my thoughts based on common sense reasoning and as you and I both know, common sense seems to be out the window here so.... things that make you go hmmmmm.

Thank You for the replies guys . Before this trusty dusty ol trainer hits the skies again it will have my FAA number on it , my AMA number is already stuck to the outside of the battery door on the bottom of the fuselage (with a home made label from one of those "P Touch" label makers) . What I was really curious of is if anyone had read anywhere in the new FAA rules anything about the FAA number needing to be the most prominent or anything like that . I had considered removing them , but if I don't have to , since it's survived 10 years like this , maybe the numbers are it's good luck charm and it'll crash and be destroyed on it's very next flight if they're gone
