No black friday sales here?

[detox]

Its all about profit, not welfare

[pyroM!KE]

Understandable..But every other RC business does have big sales..

Steve does a damn good job running this as a sideline to FT work.
OSE pack well, ship fast, and are focused on our hobby.
His 'off the shelf' prices are competitive already.
My hats off to ya, m8.

I get squillions of emailed catalogs to Australia .. sure, I flick through them.. then ask my preferred vendor if they can match ...
Customer loyalty is what keeps forums like this one alive.

I agee with you drwayne.

Why would one assume that everyone must have a Black Fiday sale??

[pyroM!KE]

Cuz everyone is doing it..Peer pressure is a mutha..

[Doby]

So if everyone jumped off a bridge..........

[Basstronics]

I might go for a swim then!

lol

No but seriously I thought last year many of the hobby sites had black friday sales. Maybe we will see a Cyber Monday sale of some sorts? Maybe not?

With this economy I would resist sales if I was a retailer or do something minor such as free shipping (on smaller orders/not oversized ones).

In a different comparison, The resturants "Show-Me's" and "Hooters" both serve close to the same food and provide very similar dining environments (girls dressed in tight, revealling outfits, money stapeled onto the walls). Show mes has a daily lunch special for around $6, Hooters has no such special. Heres why, Hooters DOESNT NEED TO. The same goes for OSE, he DOESNT NEED TO. Steve isnt going to lose customers because he doesnt have a once a year sale. As it is, Im 100% positive he barely makes a profit on FE products. After all, his main business is selling jewelry. Consider everyday in the swap shop to be our "Black Friday".

He could have free shipping at least..I just spent 700 on a new Cyber storm setup and spent 10 extra dollars on usps priority shipping..It was shipped UPS ground which was the cheaper shipping.. :/
Still havent got a reply back..
Prices seem retail to me..

[Basstronics]

How are the prices retail?

The problem with that argument is there really is no retail outlet to compare to...

I agree whether there is a sale or not is no skin off my back. Its not going to make customer go somewhere else- because this is the best place to buy. It would however be nice to catch a break every now and then.

But I also understand as a hobby theres probably next to no profit in this. So Im content to keep a reliable source close by such as OSE.

Then go to your local retail hobby store and see what you can find....good luck!

Steve has handed out "breaks" before. Remember the Leopard motor discount using the code? How about the Keda motors he recently gave away for next to nothing? He has the Hyperion Duo charger for $10 less than anywhere ive seen. Dont forget his customer service that 99% of other retailers dont have.

To PiroMike, I dont mind helping you out and will continue to do so, but your looking in the wrong place for a black friday sale. OSE isnt a large online retail store like some others that CAN have a sale. It sounds like your looking for a hand out, and that is downright disrespectful. As far as him not getting back with you, try another means such as a PM. He will get back with you. Also, on another note, I would watch how you word certain things as it looks like bashing, and that will get you banned, especially if its to the owner of this website. Just chill out and look elsewhere for a sale. If youve been here for a while, you know that an FE boat isnt cheap. It adds up quick, but thats the price you pay to play. If you dont want to spend as much as you did, then look into another hobby.

LOL..Im not being disrespectful..You are judging me that is disrespectful..I never said one thing negative..Like I said I just spent 700 here and didnt blink one eye..I was just curious about black friday holiday sales here...Jee wizzzzz..
