Default RE: CMPRO LEO 110

On the topic of buying from overseas, my LHS guy was absolutley thrilled when my last package from central hobbies went over the $1000AUD import by post limit by 23 dollars. (my bad in calculating to stay under the limit) I had to pay a customs handling fee and GST on the items. Even with my having to pay GST the items still cost me less than what the equivalent available items would have here. I say available because some JR servos that are available OS and ideal for my useage just arent available here. Orielly's were quite adament they werent available. With the advent of the WWW we can see what is availble OS and isn't here at the right price. My LHS guy agrees with me that the importers/wholesalers in Australia arent really being fair with the wholesale pricing, wanting too big a piece of the pie so to speak.
