Hobb-e-mart

I'm thinking of buying a Blade CP and notice that these folks seem to sell a lot of stuff on Ebay all with the same description. Is this place a recycle for crashed helis or are these people legitimate and a good place to buy a heli from? New to the game....just want to know if anyones had any experience with this outfit.

Re: Hobb-e-mart

Hi Buzzman,

I have bought a lot of heli parts from Ebay and have only found things not to be as stated once. I soon had this resolved, I would point out though that I knew what I wanted and what I was looking at. It is important that if you are going to use ebay that you know what it is you are buying.

My advice to you is that there are some very good deals to be had but as always it is your responsability to check out the sorce and know what you are purchaseing.

good luck with what ever you choose to do.

Re: Hobb-e-mart

Might be worth researching them as well. My past experience is a lot of those places are all located in China , and try to get support. The other thing to check , and I'm sure you'll find that alot of those places all have the same address but run under different hobby shop names.

Not sure if your interested, but I order from RCandME.com out of El Paso Texas and Midwest-RC.com out of Minnesota. Had good service with each so far.
