15.00 GBP postage is enough to put me off.

It's still available with most retailers with all gears intact . An airline going bankrupt does not necessarily indicate the models have instantly become rare

I'm not going to get in to a "childish slanging match" with you. But £15 is taking the p155. Postage will cost you 30% of what you want to charge.

So a model is rare, that justifies charging an extortianate postage rate. Hmmm.

Your auction actually states that the model is in Didsbury, not Taiwan. (Read Ebay rules).
In addition you don't even take the time to say whether it's a 400 or 500 model.

Thanks for the info. I already have it in 400 & 500. I'm toying with the idea of increasing my fleet and have checked out several retailers. probably going to double up on both scales.

Also have a buddy that works for them, so hopefully may get a couple of "giz' it's" from him.

Your mate worked for them OK, there are **** up OK

2nd if you can send stuff from Taiwan for a third of this price I will employ you to handle all my companies shipping, I guess that your statement indicates you dont even know where Taiwan is let alone ever been there

Ummm...I've Had Packages Shipped From The UK. 7 GBP For TWO Models Force Mail. One Week Delivery.
Airshops From Taiwan Charges International Rate Of 20 Bucks CAD To Canada.

Can You Tell Us What Is "Original" About This Model? Who Is The Maker FAKE Big Bird? Because The GENUINE Big Bird NEVER Made It...

Oh, BTW It's Spelled SHMUCK. Your Trader Rating Must Be TOPS.

My friend is STILL employed by Oasis.
I'll decline your offer of employment thank you.
My geography is pretty good, so I do know where Taiwan is. But, yes, I've never been.

For info. 0.5kg merchandise sent from Taiwan to Europe using EMS is 460 TWD. A rough conversion = £9.30
And ordinary Airmail is 380 TWD to the UK. (£6.30).
(Postage rates taken from the Taiwan Post web site)

With the exception of the OP, I apologise to other contributors to this thread for my "rant", but I buy a lot of my models from Ebay and I strongly object to sellers who charge over the top postage rates.
