Cat3000 - Got to go

[DCM]

OK, it is a Cat3000, been run about 4 times since a rebuild, got a new shell, wing and undertray, some new bearings, spares and a shed load of tyres on rims and rims.















No electrics included though, make an offer.

[lazerboy]

i'll give you $100

[DCM]

ok, shipping will be $160 on top of it....

[lazerboy]

i don't know what kind of shipping you do, but it's not that expensive.

[PaulRotheram]

You'd be surprised.. Royal mail have jacked postage prices up big time over here.

Sending a kit in the UK costs about £15 now.. its ridiculous.

[DCM]

well, $100 is just a tad over £50... and it is worth a lot more than that fella.

OK, I should say 'SERIOUS OFFERS' only please.

[DCM]

BUMP.... got to go, Jimmy needs my money!!!

I sent my B4 a few weeks ago for around £7 and that was insured. So i don't think they have gone up that much. But about a year ago i sent an alloy wheel off a fiesta for £9 so there must be a bit of a difference in pricing these days.

[DCM]

There is a difference, and smaller items isn't so bad, heavier items get hit, and when you go overseas by air... ouch.

Sent a Kyosho 777 few spairs but no engine radio etc to europe cost £45.00! Sent a large plastic model kit to canada big box but weighed nothing nearly £50.00 air mail!!! cheeper surface mail but takes weeks!I may be wrong, but I am sure you cant send recorded abroad.

[DCM]

shipping by road to Netherlands is £50 due to size of parcel.

Come on, someone relieve me of this, it HAS to go....

[BORMAC]

Im a sucker for Schumacher buggies and I dont have a 3000 yet.I am genuinely interested,can you give me a price shipped to Australia by economy air please? Can you give me an idea in Aussie dollars please? Thankyou-Jason. P.S do you have any spares for it?

[DCM]

it is sold pending payment, but I shall get a quote, it won't be pretty though, as the tyres make it a BIG box.

edit: just received a qoute.

As the parcel is big, they quote on a volumetric equivalent. which equates to 12KG parcel

£174.95+VAT (£30.62) = 205.5+100 for goods = £305.57

XE.com gives £1GBP=$2.46645AUD = $753.67

Living in the UK is great for buying things overseas, but terrible for selling overseas.

[jimmy]

what the hell, this new pricing thing is crazy

[DCM]

blame the greens, as now sending stuff by air is expensive. But then the parcel IS big....
