I keep hearing the word scam

I keep hearing about scams, No need to worry about that from me over a 14.99 toy, lol. I am a firm believer in a higher power and I, like everyone else have enough to answer for, stealing a 15.00 toy would not be something I want to add to my resume'. One tip I would suggest would be small trades so...

I see now

ok I see what I am doing wrong now. I never went to the buy/sell/trade section. I just read the rules at that section. I have not been here 6 months yet. Oops, my mistake. I am not trying to scam anyone just a simple mistake. I guess I need to watch the rules a little closer.

another question

I have been putting my planes together (21st C) and thinking I probably should keep the boxes in good shape. Anybody know how hard it would be to unasemble and repack the planes into the box for storage if I need to do so?

Hello Light

Hello light, I am unaware of 21st century's financial status but I see potential in this company. My business and collectible side wants to see them survive. If they took my advice their business would at least triple. It is just common sense, or marketing 101, find your target audience go after the...

I am not really sure why I am posting this other than I am in a constant fight between my marketing and collector personalities, lol. I see the mistakes many compani...

According to a guy I spoke to at 21st century they have been...
