We should have a "Ebay Hall of Shame" thread.

Hahaha... Whew, the funny thing is that their will be idiots that will buy those products.

that's business. I'm glad RCM members are the educated few and not the uninformed masses. I remember when x-box's came out and someone paid $700 for an x-box box. Yep, the cardboard package. Idiots.

prices look mighty steep... can't you get a whole savage flux for just a bit more than that guy wants for the motor and esc?

hall of shame for sure. and $209 for some zippy lipos? pfffft.

So I can get a MMM and 2200 CC motor for 175 more than Mike charges????

What a deal, I can't wait.......

Some people.....

Do you guys think those people went to business school? I'm guessing that _paralyzed_ went right for the money with what he said lol.

"I'm glad RCM members are the educated few and not the uninformed masses."

So this http://cgi.ebay.com/Flux-Blur-Brushl...QQcmdZViewItem is worth more then this??? http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Castle-Creat...1%7C240%3A1318 damn, Wish I did'nt buy one of the second ones.

Maybe they figure that the extra cost for the Deans, extra piece of wire and that little thing o the on/off switch was worth $100 more.

C'mon guys - you should know by now its the stickers....

I am with Lutach, I guess he figures the pre-soldered connectors on the blur are worth the extra $100:tongue:

The ironic thing is that with the Castle-labelled Monster, you get a CastleLink lead too...which you *don't* get with the Blur. Those prices are just taking advantage of the uninformed.:whip:

So if I get some HPI stickers and some deans connectors I can make some $$$.:gasp: WOW I just got the idea for a new buisness. Now I need to learn to solder and apply decals,and find some suckers.Uh uninformed :great:

I found this a rip off. A surge protecter for $200 dollars. Monster probably makes 75% \of profit off that...

lol.

I have one of those.

I use it because as a DJ I want to have all my gear plugged into a single source without a ground buzz. Also is tells me the amps and volts, so I know I wont trip a breaker.


I didnt buy it tho....it was a gift from another DJ I work with.

For Audio and what not those are worth every penny. My parents have two monster surge systems in there house and you can hear the difference in using them and a low priced surge bar. Those units actually clean up the power to make it more constant eliminating spikes and drops (which occurs constantly in AC power) and cleaning out the static and noise often associated with poor quality power delivery.

That monster surge protector is worth every penny. it is a real surge prtector, not just a multiport extension cord with a fuse. The 6125-joule rating makes it take one hell of a spike to damage anything plugged into it. If you have expensive gear it is worth it to protect it. If you have a $300 walmart tv and $100 stereo, then a $200 surge device is certainly not needed, but for a several thousand dollar tv and a home theater system upwards of 10 grand, that extra piece of mind is worth the $200.

IIRC Monster used to(maybe still do) offer up to $100,000 of protection for anything damaged while plugged into their product. They make even higher end units that are the size of components in your rack. Makes me miss my krell amp and martin logans. Damn apt. life.

They even do wonders for TV reception if you have crap reception like me.
