GT if you are refferring to the polished screws on Pete's car they are from the 414 cars. Pete being a now former high school punk and not having anything better to do he polished them up and made them look all pretty. Next he is looking to get pink parts for his car.

Like I said to RtypeC I might get from Steve too. But right now I just can't sell at a price he is telling everyone. I already spoke to my source and all he said was just to bring it back to him.

i think wat he is saying is if you can't make money off selling something then you probibly wont sell it any more.
in an extreme , closing your RC shop cause you not making enough money to pay the rent, if your local hobby store shuts down its no good for no one!

Kenshin: I think your logic can't be apply on this RC industry. Low price doesn't really mean more people come to this rc racing. No matter how the low price for rc racing item, it is consider expensive hobby for everybody. I never heard one said RC racing is cheap.
Serious buyers for Surikarn are going to get it anyway. Just matter of time. Of course, now they see Steve is selling this for unbeatable low $370. Everyone would wait for his shipment. I don't see any point a new buyer would buy a Surikarn for $370. I doubt how many people would now thinking getting Surikarn because it is now $370. For sure some people may tell you, "yeah, it is now only $370. I must get it". According by my experience, they usually have no real action.

Paying $370 from your local shop makes much better sense than spending $420+ from ebay.
Dont spend time worrying about what the margins are for a business. As long as price, service and product are not sacrificed get the best deal you can.
My 2 bits.
