They messed up the classifieds
The message We are proud to announce that on August 1st, 2023, we will be launching a revamped Marketplace. They messed it up good. The sub categories are gone. Like , jets , warbirds ETC. Now If you want to look for a certain type of model you have to look at everything. Not good. Dan

Yeah, I've been here since the start of RCU and in this day an age with all the improvements in web design and the owners still can't get it right. Just feels cheap and completely unpolished. Internet brands made $1.6billion in 2020 and I'm they have done quite well over the years, but probably spend pennies on the $ for RCU, as Sysiek said the other site is the way to go.

When I saw the post , I was hopeful for an improvement. RCG is better for selling, but RCU has a bigger jet community. According to RCU stats the jet forum is much bigger than all the other categories they have. It would seem like they would leverage that with the classified adds.

Same with not wanting to search through 6,001 listings of foamies when i'm looking for a turbine.
There was plenty of market place activity here before internet brands took over, they have slowly ruined this place. One "improvement" at a time.

Maybe it’s time to complete termination of this platform , the Facebook marketplace and rc groups take it over , except the forums, they are great specially if someone is looking for older models and the information about them, but buying and selling is not working out so just terminate this service maybe this will work better for everyone?

I thought the new classified was bad Then this new "Global Notice" shows up saying the this was a temporary market place for the transition to the new one. Now that the new one is up and running they actually found a way to make it even worse that the temp one that was horrible. The "NEW" one has even fewer categories to jam everything into. They are now very close to their goal of making it totally impossible to use.

we are not supposed to take notice of the things the queen removes from us, and are only to continue working harder and harder to keep the honey coming.

To many “hall monitors” in those threads, FBook Marketplace has a much larger user base and RCTrader is also a far better experience.

The corporate entities that are driving this hobby, often ran by non-modelers, are killing it slowly, bit by bit, and it seems that they just won't quit until they are done. "Death by a thousand cuts", as they say. I'm sure it isn't intentional - it is just general incompetence and a lack of foresight.

I have refused in the past and will continue, to refuse to sell my soul to Mark Zuckerberg. Considering how much hot water he's been in of late for colluding with the government for information on users and censorship, I think my position, which is shared by lots of folks now, is warranted.
