From prior discussions with him, this is a touchy subject. It's not only the possible loss of sales, it's also web server traffic/storage/etc on something he doesn't benefit from. And then there's always the deal that goes sour and then you have flaming, etc. Pretty much more trouble than it's worth. And what about the people who sign up just to sell their stuff. These forums were intended as a means of first-level support for RCM products and all the other stuff detracts from that. Obviously, it as also become a hang out as well, but that's innocent enough.

However, I personally tend to agree with you somewhat. Maybe he could set something up where he gets a certain % of the sale item, but then again, he'd have to be the middle man somewhat, and he's probably busy enough, lol. And, what happens when the seller doesn't follow through? He'd have to refund his %. Too much trouble.

One thing I'd change though is to be able to post the price in the post (I never understood that rule), but then keep the rest of the transaction handled via PM only.

I assume you ask this so that you could maybe sell your awesome shells here? Since those aren't your typical "used" items and it is a pretty focused category, maybe you could work with him to have your stuff listed actually in the store, and work out the commission details.

Ohhh, Im not looking to sell my shells here. Im too busy as it is now. The real reason is I have a brushless build i did for my wife and honestly she doesnt drive it. Some forums are best set up for selling RC that are talked about in those forums and my build is actually meant to be sold here where it is appreciated.

On RCCrawler, they charge you $20.00 for a members star which gives you more capabilities, bigger avatar and the ability to sell your stuff as well as partisipate in vendor give aways. I think its actually a great idea and i know he doesnt want the headaches as I can appreciate it, but he does have control with his mods for that. Im not trying to press the idea. just saying that it could be a larger oppertunity for more intrest to this site. after all those of us on other sites do spread the word to come here anyways when it comes to brushless advice.
