I’d be disappointed too. I have received some items here and i make sure that send a thank you after I’ve received them. It’s the least that I can do for the time and effort someone gave me.
Bronto, there is no question your good karma will help you in a long run. It is funny you brought this up because few days ago I received a surprise from a buddy here in the forum… DML StuG III Ausf F/8 kit because we had fun together in a GB a while ago. Few months ago I sent few kits to another friend here in the forum to help him out. So karma works in a mysterious way…
Now this buddy is going to get something from me shortly… revenge is sweet! [:D]
I also offer up any parts I have that are needed, and enjoy helping out others whenever I can. All but two people I sent parts or kits to responded with thank yous, and offers of reimbursement.
And like berny experienced, one of those two was looking for parts again some time later , and I too still have them here in my spares box. [;)]
This has happened to me a few times in the past. I agree with some of the other Modelers here:
Don’t sweat it. Not worth your time, really. Yea, it’s a bit troubling when no one says thanks, but that’s not the reason you sent it in the first place.
You sent it to help out, and it felt good to do something nice for someone, so end it right there.
Boy, I know what my Gram would have said if someone didn’t say thank you.
“Where’s your manners? In your back pocket?”
Instant Karma’s gonna get you…
Hey Bronto;
Please don’t let those who are unappreciative dull that spirit of camaraderie you have demonstrated.
That is the most important thing.
I worked with a community group and we ran an event and with the funds we bought an in-house elevator for a family with a special needs child.
They saw that their house had appreciated in value significantly then put it up for sale and moved.
Sometimes it’s hard not to feel like as though you’ve been taken.
You can’t stop being that person you are because there are those who don’t appreciate you.
There are many here who have given me their time to help me out with build problems, so there are many of us who appreciate what you have done. As HVH said, it’s about paying it forward.

I hear ya Steve that has happened to me a few times also on this site…Hey by the way where is my Dull Coat!

Yup Berny. You were a real life saver on those sidewinders. You saved me a fortune not having to pay for the weapons pack from Hasegawa for just a couple of missiles. I don’t think I forgot, but in case I did, I will say it again… THAN YOU… [t$t]

doing a good deed,[snWcm] and the feeling you get… will always out-weight the let down of the inconsiderate…[bnghead]
Very True.
That’s an awesome idea. [I]
I agree with everyone else. A simple thank you should not be too much to ask for.
