You know, I can actually see that happening every time you guys drive that road.
Guess why?.... Cause I do the same damn thing every time we pass by a few places in town. There is a half decent Chinese food place near me that is always busy. All you can eat for $15.
Every time we go by, I say "Holy $hit that parking lot is full", or "Would you look at that!!!!" and I point vigorously at it. She knows and the eyes roll and she says do you have to say that every time?!

Yeah, life can be pretty mundane. We have to entertain ourselves somehow...

Radio Controlled Car, Team Associated RC 8.2e - $1100 (Highlands Ranch)
I am selling my Team Associated RC 8.2e Radio Controlled Car, it has only been driven for a couple charges of the battery. It includes the Tekin RX8/T8 Speed Controller Motor Combo, Hitec HS-7950TH Steering Servo, Spektrum Receiver and a MaxAmps 6500mah Race Edition Lipo Battery. There is also a box of tires, 16 packages of 2, meaning there is 8 complete sets of tires included. The box and manual are also included. All-In there is $1500+ of stuff here, I am willing to let it go for the deal price of $1100. I also have a Spektrum DX3R transmitter I am willing to include for an additional $150.
You got that? The
deal price of $1,100
without radio.

Talk about a major cash outlay in rc and then an abrupt change of heart. He just needs an abrupt dose of reality now.

So if a level 1 buyer came along with a fat wallet, he'd turn them down, eh?

I think you'll find that whole 'skill level' thing comes from Traxxas..... they use it in their catalogues to show how experienced you should be, depending on model. For example, most of their 1`:16 stuff is level 1, the 1:10 Slash is 2, and things go up from there - some models have an increased skill level depending on gearing and battery type!
The normal level tops out at 5 for things like Revo 3.3s and the like, although the XO1 is rated by them at a whopping Level 10.
Hope this helps.

I think that would be a tamiya hornet with a 3.5T brushless setup.
