RE: E-BAY
DADSTOYSBG,
The only reason I have been shopping at Ebay vs my LHS is that they are not carrying any kits other than ARF's. The stocked kits are not what I wish to build. They did not even have any Top Flite kits available. They had some other kits, but not in the scale (1/6) that I want to build. Generally, I purchase servos, radios, RC car parts, fuel, finishing products, and other materials needed to complete the airplane. The only reason that I purchased a radio and flite packs from E-bay is that my LHS did not have what I had needed. Generally, when I had requested products to be ordered at LHS, they have taken over 1 month to receive.
As a shop owner, you must realize that if I can purchase a 1/6th kit (fiberglass fus) for over 100 dollars less than you can sell the same kit, then I will attempt to purchase on E-bay, but still purchase products you sell at your prices.
