Do the math..when your shipping across country...and compare my cost with others out there...if you can get a better deal, then go for it..geez you want everyone to pay the same..yet you have an EBAY account..interesting.
You want some more cheese with that 2.00 buck chuck Whine?? That's exactly what I told the children whose handicapped mother couldn't afford rent in my building anymore. Stay strong brother! I have no beef with your ideology. If you have no other skills to earn a living contributing to society than buying and selling toys at a markup, it's not for me to judge. I'm okay with that. I'm not crying immoral or illegal or anything in that respect. Didn't mean to get off on the wrong foot.

its just two people selling toys. Nothing more . Nothing less. Its a hobby not a way of life. Keeping it simple.

heya I'm not sure if your arguing over the pricing but to me it sounds fair thats 15 for the jet and the rest is postage to anywere in states !! just look at the ebay scammers they're looking for anything up to 79 for the jet alone not factoring what they want for shipping . so to me the $40 shipped is fair. granted I live in Ireland and don't know the rates there but there always costs involed box for the plane to ship in extra cost to get a track number don't forget the bubble stuff and tape that all adds up after a while .hope i'm not steppin on toes here but just wanted to mention that

No dude, by all means. I'm not arguing a price. It sounds like a cool deal so go for it. I also understand the cost of shipping, packaging and the like. Sorry if I insinuated otherwise.

Maybe I need to take a step back and reiterate here. I think the mind set of buying up en-mass and selling at a higher price is bad for the hobby. From a business point, it makes sense. From a hobby standpoint, it doesn't work. Look at baseball cards, comics etc. The old gems command a price because they are rare. New stuff floods the market. Some things become rare because they have a limited release. Some hoard them up to make a quick buck and for awhile everyone clamors to get one. Fast forward two/three years, the demand goes away, the price drops and people lose interest. They stop buying new stuff, companies stop producing it cause sales are down, and the hobby dies. Maybe I'm just paranoid though.

I agree with you on that the mass horders buying up all stock so no one else can get them and then hiking the prices is bad. I myself have never bought anything in mass bar one time and that was when the ROC stuff over here was drying up I found a nice stack of mantis attack crafts . so I bought 8 of them kept 4 for myself and sent the others to I think a few tankers here for trades more then anyting else and they woulda been one for one trade. ie awe striker for mantis . same line vehicle different wave . that sorta thing

And I'm not against profit, but buying up everything you find to sell at a markup WILL kill the hobby.
