Anytime I have shipped to Canada or purchased from Canada, it seemed the shipping has been too high. Now with the US Post Office going the way of UPS (higher shipping cost to make money), I would think it might even be more.

Aferg,
So, from the farthest east province to the farthest west province - what would a 10lbs package cost?

Post by **aferguson** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 7:34 pm

dunno......i've never mailed anything that heavy. Big packages across canada are not that bad....but little ones cost almost the same as the big ones, so they're pricey.

Canada Post's rates went up a couple of years ago the way USPS's rates just went up recently. Plus on packages over a pound, going to the US, you have to take insurance and tracking, no other option, so that makes the price higher still.

Canada Post's rates used to be about double what USPS charged (in other words if someone sent me a package from the US it would cost me twice as much to send it back to him). Now not so much difference.

Good grief Charlie Brown, talk about high shipping costs....

this is ridiculous... http://cgi.ebay.com/Soviet-Military-Ope ... dZViewItem

Now, I collect books from this author, and this one is tough to find in hardback form, but the thing weighs all of about 1 1/2 lbs. and should not cost much more than about $10 to ship from Maine to California using priority mail flat rate, and even express mail would only run about $22 or so. I prefer not to get involved in this kind of thing, but this really frosted me and I reported it using the "excessive shipping/fee avoidance" reporting link at ebay.The funny thing is, she has a boatload of books with way too high shipping costs, but none quite this bad.

Drop shipped from Russia by carrier pigeons set loose by Russian lingerie models, perhaps?

Woofer's stuff is amazing.. Truly an inspiration.

Cutting Arrow is another one that is blazing a trail out there with high quality and unique customs.

Post by **aferguson** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 6:41 pm

Interesting....that was built from a Solido 1946 Chevy Truck; i got one to make into a LRDG truck someday. I didn't realize the germans used Chevy trucks too.

I always admire the stuff Woofer sells on EBAY. I wonder where he finds the time to do all this detailed work?

Jumpin Jimminy Batman... I know I've got one (or maybe two) of those here somewhere....and for that kind of scratch I just may have to part with them.

Post by **aferguson** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 6:26 pm

this reminds me (sorta) of the late, late eighties and early nineties when the exotic car market exploded upwards in prices. Every day new record prices were being paid for ferraris, masseratis, lambos etc and it trickled down to pretty much every kind of collectable automobile.

Some people paid over $1million for some of the rarer ferraris. A handful of years later the bottom had dropped out of the market and they couldn't get one quarter of what they had paid.

There seems to be a bit of an XD frenzy going on right now, being fueled by an influx of new collectors and a paucity of new things to spend their money on (and a bit of panic at seeing prices of the out of production stuff rise so sharply).

Hausser German 75mm infantry gun. Looks in good shape. I got one years ago that was fairly bashed up but was able to turn it into quite a nice little model (complete with kneeling Dragon figures crew). Very close to 1/18. On the big side if anything.

Expect to pay well over $100 if you decide to go for it.

Wow! That guy is knee deep in XD already and shows no signs of stopping. Almost $600 bid between 3 Panthers!

And here I though I was a little impetuous with a $60 winning bid once upon a time for one of my Panthers.

immeww2 · Post by **immeww2** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 12:35 pm

I've been tempted to sell some of the panthers I have too. Never figured they would fetch those kind of prices!

I've been tempted to sell some of the panthers I have too. Never figured they would fetch those kind of prices!

Just to see what would happen, I messaged one of the guys at ebay who had been bidding on one of these high priced Panthers and offered him a NIB one that I have on a Buy Now deal. He politely declined saying he had enough of them now, and that he was turning these into Jagdpanther conversions. If he can afford nearly $200 a pop for what amounts to a $50 tank he must be getting some serious cash for his conversions, anyone seen one?? I'm just curious what they are fetching.

he may be selling them privately, to customers he has lined up already.
