I scored a job working in a hobby shop just over a year ago. I am considered an expert in the field of plastic military modelling, having won competitions at nationsal level. I only work on saturday afternoons and have a fulltime factory job during the week.
however plastic models only account for 5 % of sales, with RC being at least 50 % ! Thats why i got a savage... had to learn on something about rc to make sure i could help with customers.. amazing what i have already learnt from you folks that have been passed onto a wider community.
but its great to be able to buy all my spares at staff discount prices, because otherwise it would be a very expensive hobby that i probably couldnt afford.
does anyone else work in a hobby shop? do you feel as guilty as me when some young kid comes in who obviously hasn't any idea about nitro and puts a few hundred hard earned/ saved dollars over the table ? knowing that he ought to probably get electric? i know i do.. sometimes i pass off those sales to others in the shop.
what yous think of that ?
