"Price £1600 +12.5% eBay fee + VAT" = £2160 :o

Is Ebay not free for bits now ?

Would like to see a top view of the head, for me its a lot t pay without any track record or reputation....

Is it the same person as on FB ?

Having spoken to a few people who've had a play with a couple, these may not be the bestest things ever...

If you're an AppK racer you'll probably fail scrutineering too.

As the seller on Ebay (mcgresche-5015) is shown as a private seller, he apparenlty should be able to sell without Ebay fee according to this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/fee ... ts?id=4822

If however he was a business seller then a fee would come into play but that isn't bases on % as far as i can see. Charging VAT also sounds a bit starnge for a private seller.

One other thing, there is no costumer protection when one sells as a private seller....

So who is actually selling you the head? "mcgresche 5015" or "www.wsmcomponents.com"

Thing is, if you would order the head at the WSM Components website then you pay the 1600 + VAT = 1920,- so without any 12.5%
