First time ordering from this site. I almost didn't based on recent reviews however my FB group spoke highly of them so I gave it a shot. 5 items arrived in a week with no issue. They seem high quality to me. Will use again.

They have all the popular tricks. Peter is always good about returning messages and answering Q's. Ships out fast. You get what was promised. He doesn't take orders for things he is currently sold out of either. I really like that.

Decided to sell off some of my used equipment. In order to gain access to the proper area you need to have posted so many answers to Q's etc. It's a high traffic area so no problem finding enough places to post answers. I think it only took around 25 but this was years ago. I already had a few. So I set to work answering some of the basic questions. My answers were pretty much the same as the others but on a few I went into more detail if I thought it would help the asker. Within a few hours all my answers were deleted and some mod sent me a PM saying words to the effect of, If you try that again you will be banned. We know what your doing. Your just trying to gain access to the sellers area to sell off your old stuff. So I messaged them back and said that yes, that is actually what I am trying to do and what is wrong with it? No answer. If you use google you will fined a never ending sea of bad experiences, random bans or bans for disagreeing with a mod etc. I haven't even used the site in years. Fortunately, their are some great alternatives now. There did not used to be, which is probably the only reason why RC grew so large to begin with. I will say, however, that they do have some very experienced people who write some really cutting edge posts sometimes.

I got lucky the 1st 2 people I hired so I was not expecting any problems. 2 of the next 4 people I hired were blatant scams who just ran the meter over night and did not provide anything like what I asked for. I tried to freeze the payment but because they had a work diary, easily faked, Upwork sided with them. They have also failed to correct any technical issues like rooms that won't close and blocked people who can still message me. What I find most interesting is that I gave up and closed my case threads almost 30 days ago. Yet there is always recent activity on them even though there is no messages or any views by me. I notice the most recent one, closed about 24 days ago, was viewed about 15 minutes ago. It must be a source of never ending entertainment for them to still be looking at it after all this time. They are to stupid to realize they have just seriously cost themselves much of my future business. I am only dealing with the current people I am happy with and not even going to be doing any new projects through that site. Hope it was worth it for the bit they did get.
