Yeah, but it is also backordered for who knows how long, so, i figured i would post it just in case someone is interested, and don't mind the higher price on something that may or may not be available again.
I could live with a damaged box, so, i might look into it, but, im not looking for anything until early March at least. TBH though, im kind of leaning away from it, not because of the availability issues, but, simply because, when i look for an RC vehicle, looks are a big part of it, and, even though i shouldnt say this here, im actually looking at the Team Redcat MT10E. The one in grey looks really cool to me. It doesn't mean im not still looking at another Arrma, since i have also found a granite roller and a Senton in pieces that i might combine, if the BRCC body will work on it. I haven't looked much into that yet though.
I wonder how amain got them, when they arent showing in stock anywhere, not even Europe and Australia.
This could turn into an unproductive debate, but, ill say it anyway. What is worse, paying a bit more on Amazon, and getting what you ordered, or paying a little less on Ebay, and not only not getting what you ordered, but never getting a refund either? That has happened to me several times, which is why i no longer use Ebay for anything. I do, however, buy a ton of stuff from Amazon.
My wife uses Ebay, and will only use the buy it now option, and only if they accept paypal, and, in the last 5 years, we have had to close and reopen her bank account more than 30 times. I stopped using it more than 10 years ago because of the constant issues over missing stuff and never received refunds. On the flip side, i average $3,000 a year on Amazon, and, out of every 150 items, i might have issues with 2. I build computers, and, very rarely get bad parts, except for certain types of RAM (certain lower end DDR3 is the worst for DOA sticks), or have issues getting replacements or refunds.Ebay is 100% safe if you use paypal for payment and use a little smarts. Paypal has their own 100% refund/payment guarantee separate from ebay themselves so you never have to worry. I've never had an issue with items I've ordered as well as long as you stick to vendors that aren't from China and only use vendors who have a "buy now" option and aren't auctioning things, and those are both plainly listed and easy to exclude from search results.
It would be nice, especially for certain things (RC stuff, computer parts) if the companies would allow direct purchase from them, and cut out the middle man, but, that has been a minor complaint of mine for many years, especially when buying certain computer parts. i figure, if they sell direct, then, when there is an issue, they get direct feedback, so they can correct the issue. Some computer manufacturers do direct from them, but, except for a couple i deal with, most are a pain, so places like Amazon and Newegg are easier to deal with.
That's a ridiculous amount and if it really is that many times, she's doing something more than just ebay to compromise her info. (phishing emails, clicking false links, etc.) This is coming from a guy in IT. No way that all happened from one site used responsibly.
Amain has em in stock for 299 with taxes but just get a 35 off coupon from some shady website i forgot what its called but the coupons are real got my shipped to my doorstep with a pamphlet and sticker for 284!
