Sand Scorcher Body Set

Recommended Posts

I was a little impatient and wanted to secure some body sets for the re released sand scorcher. There was one seller on Ebay that was taking orders and the price was very reasonable at $28.99 each which is similar to what I paid tofor the Re released Buggy Champ. The seller however only let people from the US, Europe, Australia and Japan bid. I emailed them to ask for them to open up the auction to me in New Zealand. they responded they had, I retried but it stiill didn't work so they offered to sell to me directly. I was al little nervous so had a quick search of the forums and saw that a number of members had successfully traded with them.

So long story short, an original offer of $166USD for 4 body sets delivered which I accepted but before they invoiced me this has snow balled to $290USD which I have naturally declined. I just hope no other members have purchased and are now being asked for more money. The auction is still live on Ebay for preorders.

Hopefully come the end of March early April all resellers will have them and the prices will be more reasonable overall.

I know there will be many people waiting for these.

'cos i'm #1 :P

i didn't fully read the "Day released : 27th March, 2010 (Pre-order) Est,

shipping day : 1-2 weeks after released" bit until OP posted here :)

if you search for that auction you should be able to link to list of all "sold" units with price/s?

Couldn't find the auction for ages even though I was searching worldwide on ebay.co.uk but looking on ebay.com it shows up straight away.

Better be quick - only 980 left! :P
