Anwar Sir, what is this? It's getting intolerable.
The problem is the audience
Here is what I see has gone wrong (based on 4 years of forum experiences).
1 . Someone who has little history on this forum (or with forum members outside of the forum joins) and with weeks makes a claim as to being someone who is going to offer "cheapest something".
2 . All the OP has done so far is sell some (personal, small) "used" RTF helis.
3 . It is up to us, hopefully mature ones, to understand where this is going, and not fuel the frenzy, until there is some indication of the person delivering SOMETHING !
4 . For most such people, peddling a few items online (including this forum) for a few months in their lives is just a phase, somewhere in school/college life, or soon there after. Then they realize that it is not a bed of roses, and it is something that takes dedication and patience beyond most can afford to make it a truly viable proposition which can feed themselves, let alone their families. And unless one does it with dedication... "customer support" will remain a non-priority.
5 . Everyone starts small, and there is nothing wrong with it. But making claims as to being "cheapest" is the first indication of trouble. The language of the person posting also gives an indication as to his maturity (not age, and they can be very much independent of one another). And this maturity does have an impact on whatever the person does.
It does not matter much if this generates some discussion as to what the audience "aspires", so that at least the established stores can see what is in demand... that is the good I see coming out of such threads, and that is why I tend to watch from the sidelines.
