Buying bodies from Ebay!

[FESTER2004]

I was doing some fiddling around the internet and i was comparing buying bodies threw ebay and from a retailer like tower hobbies!

i found it way cheaper to buy the bodies from tower and the shipping costs are way better too!i did a faketiciuos order with tower just to compare and hands down it was cheaper!i think shipping 3bodies from tower was like 9 bucks where on ebay it was anywhere from 9.99 to 12.99 plus for 1 body!

yes i know tower is a way bigger company than some of the sellers on ebay but come on!

i just figured i share my 2 cents!

The great thing about Ebay is there is a buyer for ANYTHING!! :) Sometimes you find deals..most times you don't. I buy alot of RC stuff off of there...but mostly I look around for people that have no clue what they're selling...misspelling on the vehicles, etc.. A couple of weeks ago, I won an auction for a Tamiya Hummer. Brand new it goes for about 150 as a kit...this was used..but in great shape...they didn't put Tamiya in the title...they had no clue what it was. I won the auction for $12.00 plus 9 S&H :)

Tower makes there profit on the body, not the freight, so they have no reason to screw people on shipping. Ebay sellers don't pay fees on shipping, so they shift dollars into freight. They rarely have buyers dealing in multiples.
