Too cheap?

How are these so cheap?

I know shipping is $45 but that's still very cheap. They have over 36000 feedback so it can't be a scam can it?

Must be a listing error, who would have the buy it now price the same as the starting bid price?

Check out the rest of the shop though, everything is mega cheap

$45 postage

+ 17.5% VAT

+ 8% Import duty

= not so cheap

Yes but sometimes you can get away with import tax if the seller labels the item with "Gift" on the package...luck

Import duty isn't payable on goods under £18 value (or thereabouts) though, these are only valued at a couple of quid.

Even *if* you had to pay all of that they're still very cheap.

You cant buy them as I would have to buy them then.

its the same for a lot of american items, they are very cheap to buy but they load the postage.

over here you would get your listing removed for it, however over there it seems ok.

These things are a waste of time IMO. If someone catches this as they walk past your car in a car park, it will rip it off. At least the original ones fold (and they don't have blue LEDs in which has to be a bonus).

It's ok, I'm not actually gonna buy them, I was just wondering how they could be so cheap.
I don't think they sell anything for the MR2 that I particularly want, might check out their Civic stuff though.

I swear these bay dealers are making a mint, I'm going to set up a shop too - I'm just going to simply call it "Chav Bits". Kerching ££££££
