Hallo Keith welcome to the Forum, There are a lot of pages on this site and some of it is not easy reading BUT I would recommend you try, some pages you must read, The BLACKLIST is full of names of companies whose names you may well recognise, I beg you avoid them, these names are here because too many of us have been cheated or received extremely poor service, It can be frustrating when you see what they are promising but ask your self if you decide to take the chance and buy from them anyway then what? if it comes at all, will it be damaged? will they fix it? what if it fails later? is there any post sales service? leave them alone, and go to the RECOMMENDED site, we buy from these people and as long as you are aware that the recommendation is recent you will get a good deal, Tips & tricks is a very useful site but most important of all is the members of this lunatic asylum, there is nothing they do not know, what you have to do is ASK! Enjoy this place, we do. shaun

Good Afternoon,
Welcome to the Forum, Keith. There is not a friendlier or more knowledgeable bunch to be found. Tell us what brought you to Tanks and which is your favorite one? Once you have selected and purchased and are having fun with your new armor, pictures would be nice to see. ;o)
Again, enjoy! There is a lot of knowledge here to pore through and glean from.
regards,
Painless

hi keith & welcome to the forum.
yes as shaun has pointed out, the cheapest option is not always the best
where do you hail from? as the country your in will probably dictate where you purchase your tank from.
good luck dude & most importantly, enjoy!
cheers
