RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi All,
Just been looking on the Web eBay and the like and is me or are all the prices gone UP. Now we are leaving the EU I guessed the prices would move upwards but NOT this fast. Talk about profiteering. The other day I ordered 3 yes 3 bits from Axels cost me £28 . Brian...

It's down somewhat, I think the pound will recover and remain steady shortly.

The initial shock was always going to knock the stock markets for six.

Fingers crossed it bounces back soon, no tank purchases until it does

To late !!
Taking Rad Schubart's advise some weeks ago I have been keeping an eye on "ASIATAM's" site and yesterday as Rad said they put a metal PZ4 hull up for sale,
Having missed one a couple of weeks ago I hooked this one,
Not cheap,
Do you think I should send "UKIP" the bill?

Sterling prices seem much the same - the others are just down to exchange rates (for now).

Things aren't any better here either.

Well as I said it seems to be eBay I checked the tank pages and accessories pages and they have put up there prices this is GB outlets not EU ones. That said I will stop buying from our Europe friends until the prices level out.... (I hope). Brian...

Im glad you got one. Keep us posted!

At its high point in the last 12 months, the euro was 1.44 to the pound. It is now 1.20. That represents a 16.7% decrease. Between 14 & 23 June it rose from 1.24 to 1.30, so take your pick. Whichever way you look at it, we lose. The important thing is whether the actual euro prices have changed. If so, then everyone anywhere is caught. If not then it is down to exchange rates. Remember it will almost certainly be worse than the commercial rate used by the bank.

The result of the vote has created a huge split in the country and needs healing. I don't want to get into an argument here, but would just say the figure of 2 trillion dollars a year is totally unrealistic, unless the dollar has slipped drastically. Please can we avoid the subject - emotions run very high at present.

Dollars, Pounds or Euros, it's just not a poor man's hobby.
