Why are so many people ignoring the auction site?
I just heard from a YORF member that purchased an item for more money and with a higher shipping cost on Ebay than the identical item on YORF auction.
Honestly should I just give up on the YORF auction? The link is right at the top of the freakin' page...it says "AUCTIONS" Come on guys! Bid! http://www.rocketshoppe.com/cgi-bin/auction.pl

Honestly, I never even noticed it. Now that you pointed it out, I will certainly look in. Very cool. |

Given the current state of the economy, some of us just aren't spending money on our hobbies. It's been a LONG time since I've had a regular paycheck

I have too many OOP still "in-the-bag" kits awaiting assembly, enough to keep me busy for a number of years. And, yes, the economy has an effect, plus with the built models I currently have, I'm just about out of space to store/display them. I do look at the various
auctions every now and then, but that's about it, just looking.

Gordon I agree with Bob . My own purchases are down on my hobby buys, it's the difference between wants and needs . I want alot of OOP kits and rockets supplies but my needs are more important right now. Having said that I did place a bid or two. I do have a regular paycheck. And I am glad and thankfull that I can say I have a job to go to every week. On a lighter note Steven Wright said this " Monday's are a heck of a way to spent 1/7 th. of your life" BAR John

I think this explanation has merit, I know it applies to me as well. I already have SO much stuff that there is precious little I want or need.
Of course I have a lot less stuff than some people (hi Scott!) but still, at 47 years old I am begining to seriously doubt I will ever build half of what I have Quote:

I agree sandman. I wasnt really looking to buy any more stuff but Ive bought 5 auctions here on YORF becouse they were just too good of a deal to not at least put in a bid. I just won your Deep Space Transport auction for $26 including shipping. They rarely come up for auction on ebay and when they do it sells for about $35-40 plus shipping.
Yes,the economy is bad but hobbies are what helps me keep my sanity. When I build rocket kits, Im not thinking about work (or lack of), bills or any other depressing thoughts. Im thinking of whether I should paper the fins or use FNF. Thanks sandman,its going to a good home..... Ken (arlblaster) |

Thought I'd give the auction site a try again. Just listed a Broadsword and Flat Cat/Ecee combo. Got a Interceptor G in the wings, but haven't decided whether to build or sell yet. Thanks for looking.
