A great man once said, "You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."

The fasteners are U.S., not metric, and they fit many R/C cars where the correct fasteners are hard to come by where you live, RS.

We've got acquisition costs, packaging costs, shipping costs, etc. And you'll not find a box like this anywhere for one Euro. The box is perfect -- excellent size for your pit, a divider for every compartment, and the dividers fit the box well so the fasteners don't migrate.

Yes, the sticker is a cost also, which goes into the price.

You can spend time and money going down to the hardware store and buy 18 different sizes and types of fasteners, if they've got them, then find a box and go buy that, and perhaps duplicate the Box O' Bolts. Probably have to go to more than one place to get it all. Or, you can get a Box O' Bolts, have it all including a dialed box, and be done with it.

On the other hand, I can't figure out why someone would buy one, then want to sell it, unless he sold the only car he had that used U.S. fasteners.
