Thumbs up Buying on OSO

I thought I would start a thread about buying from members that won't go in the bummer section. I have been looking & buying items all winter for my Eliminator project that I am rebuilding. I bought a ton of stuff both functional & bling from members here & thought it would be a nice thing to thank everyone I bought from. Everything I bought was as advertised new or used & I believe I paid fair prices for these items. I haven't seen any threads like this one so I thought I would start one. If anyone who bought or sold something on here would like to chime in please do. Thanks again everyone. Randy

I've bought 2 boats from OSO members and sold 2 boats to OSO members. Hopefully a 3rd boat will be sold sometime in the not too distant future
I've also bought and sold a lot of stuff ranging from $20-$1000 from members.
All of the transactions were smooth and it was a pleasure doing business with everybody that I bought from or sold to.

I have sold some parts and props on here and never once was there a problem. All my experiences so far have been excellent.

I think the ebay like feedback available here on OSO is a great addition to the site.
