You guys are unbelievable. We have this great forum through the good graces of Steven at OSE. It is by far the best place to participate in the hobby and learn about model boating. Yet you bite the hand that feeds you. If this was my forum I probably wouldn't be such a good guy like Steven is. At a minimum, I would remove the posts and ask you in a private message to refrain from doing that. If you persisted, I'd ban you.

Just really bad form guys. If you want to share this type of information you should do it in PM's, not in the forum.

There is certainly nothing wrong with posting leads to great deals for products OSE doesn't sell, but you guys are over the top! Would you go stand in the middle of a new car dealership yelling you could get a better deal from another dealer? They'd throw you out on your butt!

Jim its part of doing business.

I do appreciate you guys standing up for me. Things like this for the most part help me keep abreast of whats going on out there. If I want I can lower my prices. But I have a good relationship with Leopard and do not want to harm that.

He for some reason Earthquakeboy has the need to be that person, yelling over and over. He's said it enough. At this point I'm wondering why he just doesn't buy them and move on?

Or maybe they would make the sale and match or beat any deals.
Just good business and retail cents.

Here is how I handle price matching.

I don’t match Ebay offers. I feel OffshoreElectrics has much more to offer than the cheapest Ebay lister. We sell, support and stand behind the items we directly import.
You will not find that with most Ebay people selling at rock bottom prices. For instance if your motor goes bad, shipping to Leopard is about $30 to $50.
Items purchased from us within the USA are directed back to us and we handle the returns and costs.

I'm more than willing and happy when a customer gives us the opportunity to match another website.
I would have normally matched the offer like Kershaw, but Dan from Kershaw is a close friend.
I see no need to get in a price battle with a friend of mine or take a customer from him.

Well said Steven...
This is another reason I buy from you!
Classy...

It's not about having deep pockets. It's about buying from someone who stands behind each and every sale and will eat the cost of a bad product if necessary. I gladly pay for that service every time I order from OSE because in the long run it will save me money. Steve is here to stay. Not trying to make a quick buck and run. I have never bought from Kershaw. But I have from Steve plenty of times and my orders always come quick and correct. That's worth the extra money to me, because I'm on a budget. If I had deep pockets I would buy carelessly elsewhere.

[ray schrauwen]

Thats right. Whatever goes bad or is dud from first try I have to eat when it comes from China. Kershaw? I dunno... nice guy I guess, slightly different market with big scale vehicles...
Nothing I have had from Steve has ever failed. I can't say that about HK, RCFans, R2 hobbies etc... They all leave you hanging most times.

Buyer beware, I've been burned not allot but, enough to be leary of too good of a deal.

I've never thought about it like that...

Steven, you sell youself short sometimes. Steven, is a straight up stand out guy in my opinion. What ever that's worth.

OSE has also been one of the most supportive vendors of racing in years. His race sponsorship from coast to coast has been fantastic. He's one of us. He's a racer and so are his kids. AND! he gives back to the hobby where he can.

Guys, if you have an opportunity to buy something a few bucks cheaper from x,y,z is it worth the few bucks? Really? Let's at least try to help out a guy that's trying to help the hobby at large.

I know you don't do it for praise Steven but thank you anyway.

Excellent points Terry!

Thank you Steven!

Also, don't forget guys, Steve is running this forum for us all to use for free. There are costs involved with hosting a forum that people may not realize. Those costs are graciously covered by Steve and it would be nice if the members would show some appreciation by at least not using these forums to try and undercut him.

Now if you can find a better price on these 5698 Leopards...we can talk

Hi Guy's ,

What Steve has going here with OSE.COM reminds me of my youth when i raced BMX in Sydney , Australia , i owned a GT & it was made in the U.S.A & carried much prestige for that reason , as the U.S.A is world renowned for its quailty of Engineering & Service . Although these BL Motors come from China , make no mistake , Steve's OSE.COM is World Class when dealing with , & if i require any part that is available from OSE.COM & comparable price of somewhere else , Steve will get my business everytime for what he gives back to the hobby in the form of the World's best forum & Sponsorship of events in the U.S.A & has been known to sponsor events in Australia ( Queensland ) should not go without praise IMHO . BG .
