If possible i think it would be nice if we could preserve for him at least one of his pride and joys...

i.e. RCM bids as one for one of the cars and gives it back to him once it is over...

Its one of his 808 projects with a buy it now price of something like $1200. I'm in if anyone wants to put something together for him. I am sure what he really needs right now is money for a lawyer.
I know how these things work out, and it is not good.

Holy Christmas - worth it but out of my range and our fundraising abilty I think...

Thoughts are with him and the kids... No one wins

He's selling his G3R and E-converted XB808. The buggy has a buy it now price of $1200 and the G3R is bid up to $1080 and hasn't met reserve and has a buy it now of $1500.

I can see the gmaxx getting close to what he has on it, not sure if the buggy will go. He has reserves on both so I am sure he has "live with it" prices set. That way he still can keep them if no one bids it up enough.

Best O' luck to you Shaun... Hope everything is ok!

I know what he is going through I am in the middle of a divorce myself, over time me and the wife have been going in opposite directions. I am actually looking forward to the change but there are some heavy hearts

[rootar]

maybe someone could be nice enough to buy it from him for an undisclosed amount (low) and hold it for him till the divo is over then sell it back him for the same low amount..........

Hey guys what up… I’m sorry I’ve been absent for a while, I’m kind of dealing with some life changing things at the moment and just need to pull myself together and become whole again or as whole I can be the moment.. Anyway not to bitch or bring down the team but (life) has been a little rough lately.. The Wife and I are splitting up / getting a divorce! I’m cool with it (trust me after 18 years I’m cool with it! ), but the kids are taking it HARD.. My boy had and keeps having panic attacks and daughter isn’t sleeping, both of their grades are slipping, their always crying, etc… plus work died off, I had to drain what was left in my 401K to payoff the credit cards and keep the house, etc sooooo I’m basically starting from starch and I’m trying like hell to land back up on my feet.. The only thing I got going for me at the moment is I quite smoking and drinking a few months back & I’m going to gym 4 night a week to keep my sanity..

Unfortunately thou I’ve just had to put everything on hold that means anything I enjoy for while wile until I pull myself out of the hole I’m in, dust myself off and move on with my life.

Yes I’m selling some of my toys to get some cash in the bank or pay bills, I’ve gotten rid of three of my guitars, all of the airsoft stuff, my dirt bike, etc but I’m keeping all of my hand / power tools and suba equipment

PLEASE don’t worry about it at all, your all very generous and giving guys but this is my mess to clean up and toys come and go.. Sure it kills me now but I’ll have fun replacing them with bigger and batter ones later this year / early next year.. + if they don’t hit the reserve them I’m not selling them at all so either way I kind of win.. hahahhaaa that's a positive way to spin a shity situation but I got to try to keep a smile on my face some how..

Thank you all for your time everybody and I’m sorry but I just need this time away from everything to pull it together (please note) I wish you all nothing less than the greatest of year with Mike @ RCM and in your personal life..

Have a great one TEAM it been a true pleasure and honor to have known each and everyone one of you!..

Your pal who is just taking a brake for now..

Shaun..

My best wishes to you. I know divorce is hard but sometimes its the best for both parties. Im sure the kids will understand later down the road. Just because both parents dont live together doesnt mean that they dont love the kids anymore. I just sold all my RC stuff myself just to have a little extra money to pay off some bills and refurnish my kids rooms. Like you said bigger and better things will come later.

[MetalMan]

Really sorry to hear this, Shaun, particularly for your kids. I wish you well in your job hunt, and hope your kids start doing better.

But on the bright side it sounds like you're really taking care of yourself now. Should help you when (if) you get back on the market

[JERRY2KONE]

Not to worry too much Shaun. There are qite a few of here who have been in your shoes. It sucks going through it, but once you are on the other side things just seem to work themselves out. It sounds like you have your mind in the right direction. Just keep doing what you are doing, and before you know it life will look a whole lot different. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bro. Don't hesitate to stop in here and lean on us for moral support.
