holy sh@t!! was that for one kit? i had 3 payhauler kits shipped from the U.S for $80! to quote the south park movie "Blame Canada"... the Revell Simba i purchased in late last year (not the one i'm building) from a guy in canada cost $110 for the cheapest shipping option, if i wanted priority shipping i could've doubled that. Oh, and for the record, it was sent on the 4th of October and still hasnt arrived. i think Canada Post is probably THE most expensive postal service in the world! and the slowest

Still some Ebay bargains to be had, ! recenly purchased the Italeri Scania, Trailer and Subaru car combo (no.3812) for $20US, cost me $48US for Airmail (VERY BIG BOX) to New Zealand, and still ahead on this as they were very expensive here, and I haven't seen another one for many years now.

Ebay is quickly becoming the rip-off capital on the Internet. things are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them! no one forces people to pay exorbitant prices you have to set your limit and stick to it there are still some bargains to be had(although a lot harder to find ) ;D Have to agree with Mullett here, nobody is twisting your arm to buy anything off of E-bay and or pay those super high prices for shipping and or the model it self. I always set my limit on what I am going to spend on an item including shipping and won't go over that no matter how bad I want the item. As you know there will be another one along in a week or so and it might be from a seller that has a fairer idea as to the shipping cost. Ryan just a question for you, wouldnt you guys and girls from down under be better off getting together and setting up some kind of clearing house like here in the states where you have your stuff from here and Canada sent to a central location and then forwarded to you at actuall cost. Just an idea- if it worked you guys wouldn't get screwed on shipping by these vendors. Dont know if it would work or save you any money but just an idea. Jeff

thats just plain stupid for a decal sheet! :-XYeah but as soon as people see it's the decal sheet from the Bill Sign's Pete, that alone sends the price up. I wouldn't mind seeing an auction of the extra chrome goodies that come with the kit, but I wouldn't bid too high.

Not a mad price but I don't believe it I don't understand how I was outbid in the last minutes today but only one penny. It was like someone knew how much was bid as a maximum.

It happens, and has happened to me more than once. And like Longhaul said,"There will be another one on in a week". That is pretty much true and I have gotten better deal sometimes too.
