Would you buy from me?
Ok, so I got a way (completely, 100% legal) to get some pretty good deals on most Traxxas, Duratrax, and a few Ofna models and/or parts for these brands. For example, I can sell you a Stampede 4x4 (completely RTR, with battery and charger) for around $355 plus shipping (probably like 15-18 bucks or something), versus the best deal on ebay which is $380 shipped. Like said above, I would also sell (from my online store) most Traxxas, Duratrax, and Ofna models and parts (and electronics, including Castle products) for them, for low prices like in the Stampede 4x4 example stated above. Please do not beg me to tell you how I'm getting these prices, it's simply a business. So, the question is, if I setup an online store with these kinda prices and gave you guys a link, would you buy from me? Thanks for answering, just wondering.

no way, well established stores are about the same price
get your own stuff cheap, but thinking you're going to be doing anyone else a favor or making money re-selling is a mistake

Nope, I think I'll still buy through my LHS, they love me there and they have everything I need. They often have discounts where (for example) I could get a pede 4X4 for $369 ($20 off their regular price). My hobby shop is convenient and I usually only buy/order through them. I'd check out your sight if you made one, I sometimes get stuff online.

Make a shop, register with google adsense and you'll sell stuff, whether you make it big or not will depend almost solely on your marketing and effort.

Why should I buy from you to save $10-$15 when I can buy from an established, reputable site for very little more. The piece of mind is worth a few $$$ to me.
Start the site, build a rep and then we'll see.

i would buy from your ebay shop if you had decent feedback. ebay can never have too many chop shops. they are always good to have. everybody need spare parts!

ThunderbirdJunkie believes this to be false, but he cannot find any evidence to the contrary.
