Quality NOS Parts Being Held Back from Uk Market ?????????
Funkyworm:
OK,
First let me say that It's a free world market & all that & everyone has the right to make their money where they want & charge top dollar for parts etc .
Being new to the forum & not really knowing the etiquette or (who's who) I guess i'm hanging my cheese out in the wind a little here & possibly gonna upset someone, but basically i just did a google search for a particular part (which i'd really love for my Rickman) I cant find one in the UK (of any quality) & I actually found just what I wanted to my surprise on Ebay Australia.
The most surprising thing is that It's being sold by a well known UK retailer but it doesn't show up on ebay UK & it's not for sale here or in Europe.
The product is just a 30 min drive from home but the seller is asking nearly £250 for the part when to my knowledge it's not worth half that ? i then looked at their ebay Aus shop & theres loads of these products in various colours along with frame & fork sets & all manner of goodies that are showing up as either (out of stock) or not listing at all on their website or ebay store.
I just think it's a bit wrong UK business's are selling quality parts on ebay (at over inflated prices) & not having the sale open to UK customers ( I guess they are embarrassed at the prices they are charging)???????
Like i said its a free world & you have to get profit margin where you can & I guess the average selling price for parts in Australia is higher than here but (Fair dinkum mate), give us brits the chance to buy the parts we need ???
