| Since I get almost all my models through the mail, shipping factors into the equation for me. Consider the Corgi Lancaster. You can get those for very reasonable prices (near RRP on ebay.co.uk), but you know as well as I do that the shipping is a killer. You set the price you're willing to pay, and I'm thinking that $100 with shipping is my limit for Century Wings product, just as I decided that my limit for a Corgi Lanc is $150 with shipping. The shipping may be a variable, but for me it's going to be a factor in pretty much any die cast purchase I make. |
I fully agree Canucklehead, shipping is relevant with regard to the 'total diecast spend' available to the collector
.
All I was implying was with regard to discussing the pricing of CW products we should exclude the shipping debate as the importance thereof varies from collector to collector. (If the price of the CW Tomcat goes up and shipping remains constant - increasingly unlikely - you'll quickly find that the price is beyond your $100 limit
.)
