I'm sure they'd take a money order and you could buy RTR for the same price you say you are willing to pay for a kit. <br /> <br />Have you shopped around at all? <br /> <br />Jon <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yes I have shopped around. It might be in the advertisement. Does not mean that what I want that I see advertised is in stock. Plus everything you do via mail order has to have shipping and handling factored in. I bought a an Athearn SE Troppicanna Reefer set on E-bay once. Bid Price was $9.50. Shipping and Handling. 11.95. Wasn't that much of a deal after all wasn't it. (Yes I know an extream example but it illistrates my point) Besides, Now that I am venting, its all a moot point anyway. Im only clearing $25.00 or so at the end of the month at any rate. So if even somethign I wanted is in stock. It would take me three months to save the money to purchase it. Assuming the place I am ordering from has decent shipping and handling. <br /> <br /> <br />
