@chav Chav those colors are stunning!
Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to buy from Vinnie because his shipping charge to Australia is consistently way in excess of the average. I recall querying him about it some years back, cannot recall the email details other than his response was shall we day, not accommodating. That said I do note that nearly always he puts his models to market, giving everyone a chance to acquire them.
@gdh You certainly can mention my name but I doubt he remembers me by name, this was 10 years ago. Just tell him, everybody on D4C spoke highly about him...
BTW international shipping from US is very expensive, I doubt he can do much to lower the cost.
I bought some him. Never thought to add where I bought models on my spread sheets. I bought so many directly from the mints.
@chav Yes, it is very expensive, which is why I have limited my purchases to the EU. I can ship a model to the US for 15,99€, which is why I choke a bit when I see 105USD for one model, coming from the USA
I know, I recently got 1/43 models from EU for $25 shipping. Vlad is shipping my Osceola from Germany, shipping was 27 Euros (padded, with tracking). EBay seems to have good international shipping prices, they are collecting the items to a hub in US and shipping as a bulk to EU and back.
@chav This requires the buyer pay an inflated shipping rate, for both the shipment to the hub and the subsequent shipment to the final EU destination. It is always less expensive for a seller in the US to ship direct and bypass the eBay shipping process.
@car224 I do list the seller, on my Excel files.
