@Tamiyadriver, Chazz, Hardriven RC: Your right.. Maybe it's a rippoff buying stuff for $14 and selling for $30, but on top of the $14 you need to add shipping from Hong Kong to Norway. 24% taxes for importing, time spent on getting the package at the postoffice etc, etc.. I'm not really making a living out of this, I bought 8 and I decided to sell two of them. Both items started out at $15 at eBay. The first one was sold in 3 minutes using the buy now option, and the second one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5930004306) is up for regular auction. People are making a living of finding bargains and re-selling at eBay, it's not something I invented.

I hope I haven't pissed of a lot of people here The reason I'm visiting RC Tech is to make new friends and discuss the RC hobby, and I hope it can get back in that direction again.
well, i agree that people use ebay to its fullest...

my theory is that if you just had extras you didnt need, you could have easily listed them here, and sold them just as fast. nobody, including me, wants you to lose money on shipping, imports, etc. but im sure that the 3-4 people that expressed interest in them right away (me included!) would have been glad to make it worth your time.

that said, they do look very nice... congrats!
