And from my experiance there is for sure some repression going on with the true price a listeroid can be imported for even with folks on this fourm. (pride does wierd shit)"
Dawg; I have really been trying not to comment on your less-than-hidden assertions that bigger importers are somehow "riipping off" the average consumer. Tell me, do you have the $30 - $40k spare to import a couple of containers of engines and spares? Are you willing to listen to the gripes of people who, after many warnings both on this forum and others, have gone ahead and bought a Listeroid without doing basic homework - at the very least, getting George B's CD, which will tell you a lot - but only if you actually read it.
Yes, you can get engines in India for $300-$400, but add ship transport, insurance, docking fees, port authority fees, customs inspections final trucking to the warehouse and a host of other small charges and it adds a considerable amount. After that there is the shipping to the customer and the fact that the vendor must hold spare parts in stock for emergencies. Oh, and yes, the vendor DOES expect to make a profit!
I'm fairly new to this list but I'd be interested, if you would be willing to share, what exactly IS your experience, please enlighten me. How many engines do you have, where did you get them from, what investigation did you do prior to purchasing? All of these calculations you are presenting on this list - have you done this stuff or are you just projecting from a cheapo computer program?
