Dear all -

Please note the following points about buying and selling items here. These guidelines/rules should help make transactions easy for everyone.

1. Always post a detailed description of the item, including links to the product page from the manufacturer (if any).

2. It is a MUST that you post at least one very recent photo of the item in your hand, so that people may see the actual condition of the item. This is applicable even if the item is brand new, there could have been issues in shipping/handling of the item when it was procured. It is obvious that this is in the best interests of the seller, as much as it is useful to any buyers. The exception is for hobby stores, who may post links to pictures of items on their web stores or upload generic marketing material.

3. If you are a seller, always POST an asking price. Only you know what you are looking for (or what you will settle for), why make people guess what is in your mind ? NOTE THAT ADS WITHOUT AN ASKING PRICE WILL BE DELETED.

6. After a transaction is over, please lock the thread. People need to know which offers are still active.

7. Please over communicate the condition of the item for sale. We would expect the seller to clarify the condition of the item (including any short-comings, missing parts, crash history and crash impacts) in the "For Sale" post itself, without waiting for the buyer to specifically ask for details. This is in the true spirit of the hobby. Guess it goes with the old saying "do not wish for others, something that you do not wish for yourself" !

9. One of RC India's goals is to prevent its members (especially beginners) from overpaying for RC items. Towards this goal, it is deemed OK that if the SAME item (as the one put on sale) is available LOCALLY for a better price, then it is OK for others members to POLITELY point it out to the seller in private or in public, and request him to adjust his pricing. It is NOT OK for members to mock the asking price of items on sale. Any comment on pricing should be with adequate reference to sources that demonstrate better LOCAL pricing on the same item. This is true for both new-in-box items, and used items. If a seller cannot entertain others pointing out CURRENT LOCAL market prices on the same item in his sales thread, please do NOT post the item for sale on RC India. At the same time, other members (buyers or not) who comment on "For Sale" threads without adequate confirmed alternate sources and prices will be unwelcome on this forum.
