Try this one. On Evil-Bay 1/16 Tiger 1 R/C tank with smoke and sound. No name mentioned in description. Looks like Heng long. $45.00 + $65.00 postage with no local pick ups. The place is 5 miles from me. I contacted them about the excessive shipping and why I couldn't pick it up. They told me if I didn't like the shipping charge they have one listed with free shipping. Sure enough they do at $110.00. Their loss. Does anyone really buy from these people.

The sad thing is there are people about who perhaps are just starting in this hobby and are non the wiser or don't know that sites and people like us exist to point them in the right direction and blindly pay these appalling prices .

I just hope it doesn't put them off participating in what (for me) is great fun, made all the better by the guys on sites like this. Pity we can't have a shame wall.

Ebay does not care how much the sellers are charging for postage, because it jacks up the sellers fee to them

> because it jacks up the sellers fee to them

I thought the whole problems was that you're /not/ charged on the postage, so it's cheaper to sell something for Â£1 with Â£9 postage than it is to sell it for Â£9 with Â£1 postage.
