WHY "NO CRAIG'S LIST?"
November 25, 2009
Well, of course, you can shop where you like, but consider these ideas: When we shop from our local vendors, we support those folks who support us, and the next time we need something, or have a special request, having a personal relationship with your local vendors really works well.  You can find good deals on Craig's List, of course, but how wonderful is it to walk into a hobby shop and see all the planes on display in all their beauty?  You can touch, feel, appraise, and haggle with the vendor right there in his shop! I've shopped for planes on Craig's List, and I've had success, but what I typically find is models that are generally overpriced, details are sparce or inaccurate, you might have problems contacting the seller, and the last time I bought, I had to meet the seller in Portland on my lunch break!  Instead, consider this:  Our vendors are ready to sell.  They have a multitude of planes on consignment that allows you to find the perfect plane for your experience or needs at a great price!  You know who you're buying it from, and you can trust them!  They come from fliers who are fliers like us, they sell for the right reasons!  My last purchase just this week was a Great Planes Cherokee, fully assembled, OS 46 motor, all the servos installed, and a 4-channel Futaba radio system for $225!!  The plane is in perfect condition, and has made a very nice addition to my hanger!  Come back and check this space soon for updates on consignments around the local area.  Talk to Tony or Tony Jr at Island Hobbies - they have some wonderful 1/4 scale planes there.  Todd has planes to sell at Hobbytown USA, and our friend Frank has some pretty neat stuff at Ted's Hobbies.  You'll find their contact information on our "Essential Links" page.  In the meantime, I hope to post pictures and prices here soon so you may see what they have and browse right here. Also, if you have a plane or hanger queen you're ready to sell, I hope you'll let me know with an email and we'll get it posted! Safe skies, my friends! Dave Anderson, CCRCS Web"amateur"
