Yes you guys are correct about the prices on the Lorenz's web site, but probuild along with many other companies are trying to run a business and not a charity. It costs money and big money at that to run a business and stock it. Just take a look at your local model shop and try to work out how much the stock they have is worth. I guess our local one here probably has £250 000 worth of gear, a lot of cash to have wrapped up, even more if it on bank overdraft. Then there are rates, taxes and staff to pay, electric bills etc. I have bought YS engines from Probuild, knowing that I can get them cheaper from Singapore direct. But what happens if they go wrong or require parts etc. May be if I bought form the far east and require support for probuild they may not be there to help.

Still just my pennies worth
