Well (as you know I'm in Canada so the UK reality is certainly different than my point of view), they sell for 18.50$ US on the website +5$ shipping for rings and diff balls. regular rings on the internet sell for about 2$ US for the rings plus 12$ for the carbide balls. That equals 14$ vs the 18.50$ Fred asks for finnishing the rings off. So for me, 4.50$ in Freds pocket for finnishing the rings is very reasonable, especially once you see how well they work! Now what the pricing comes out to in the UK is a different story. If it does come out to 17$ just for the rings (import duties, and taxes are that high?)... I would understand customers not interested... But for rings and balls?
How much would regular rings and carbide balls come out to for a customer?
Anyways, what I was trying to get at is for internet sales by BfastRC, it doesn't come out to much more than regular rings and balls... if you can get your pricing close to that, I would figure there would be interest... If you can't (for whatever reason), well it's another story...
Cheers and hats off to trying to get input from the consumer on what they want!

What are people's thoughts on this..... would you happily pay up to £18.50 for a pair of enhanced diff rings if they were readily available here in the UK???
