Swap Shop is a Success!!!!!

[Chilli]

If any of you are members of Jim's R/C Boat Dock (a gas site), check out this thread on their swap shop. It's comical!!! Definitly not how we do business at OSE.

A short overview for those that do not belong to this forum: There are a few members on that board who will put in item up for sale. Anyone and everyone who shows interest gets a PM with the sellers paypal address. First one that pays, gets the item. The rest get a "tough luck" PM and have to wait for a paypal refund.

It is not right to take 1 thread or a couple people out of the bucket and BLAST the forum! I am a regular on JRCBD, OSE, and RRR... I have seen these problems on all the forums from time to time...... No need to point fingers....

Who the hell would do that. Nice way for a spam user to raise some funds and screw multiple users cash!

I also have very good comments for the Swap Shop and I don't live in USA. All the deals I had were perfect with honest people. The good thing is that many people also offer International shipping.

I apologize for my wording in the thread Richard. It was a poor choice of words. No disrespect intended to the Dock and it's members. Even though I do not have many posts on the Dock, I do visit it frequently as I am building my first gas boat. It was in the timing of reading this thread and then going over to the other board. I do find this an unusual way of doing business. I don't know if the moderators have any control over it, but I did'nt think this is something that would or should be allowed. JMHO..

Richard, personally when I read his thread I didn't think anything negative of Jim's forum. I thought it reflected more about the thread poster. Its not a nice way to sell something. I also must say that if I read the thread on Jim's, if it was posted here, I don't think as a mod I would have done anything about it. I would suggest as a mod/forum user I would boycott a swap shop thread of that kind, especially if he's done it on more than one occasion.

I was just saying,, there are "bad-apples" on all the forums,, his post might lead someone to believe that JRCBD is a "not so honest" forum... Sends the wrong message...... I think it is the OSE of gas boat forums.. A great place to swap info and idea's. Most of the people there are just as HONEST as the one's here at OSE.. JMHO

I agree. Jim's has been around for as long as I remember. He's doing something right over there!

Hey,,,did the dead guy who sold some stuff on here ever get located???

[Chilli]

I can see how my post was perceived as mocking "The Dock". I wouldnt air out OSE's dirty laundry on Jims so I should not of mentioned the site by name on this board. I've spent the last year trying to get the FE and IC guys together in D12. The last thing I want to do is drive a wedge between the two. 'Nuff said on the subject

Steven, Excuse me if it's already written in the swap shop rules (and I haven't read it), but could you add one more rule to it? When an item is sold the seller should mod the title of the thread and add a "- SOLD" or similar to it. So it's easier to see what might still be available, before clicking on and opening the thread.

[Diegoboy]

Only Steven, SJFE, & I can edit titles.

[norbique]

Ok then, it was just an idea

[Diegoboy]

Setting the item as is suggested. That's why we have the ability to edit the original post. It's not a rule as yet though.
