besides putting up prices, will you match prices in the market at the time of invoice/ delivery?

Omega Supreme has come down in price dramatically recently and what if comes down again?

Also thanks for the fantastic service with sending out not Jetfire. Great communication and prompt service.

Yep as others have said I cant even put a deposit on anything without final prices, I understand that as an individual that might be hard but it's just how it is :/
Price matching while good isn't I think necessary, so long as you're trustworthy/have a good reputation and will deliver I'd be fine paying a little more then certain other dealers who shall not be named (within reason of course).
Oh and because of being burnt badly it will probably be a while before I and some others will preorder anything from anyone, but having a preorder fee rather then having to pay it all up front will help build that trust so thumbs up for that

Hi guys,

thank you for advices.

I will post photos with them ASAP.

I will try my best to do the price matching.

As for the final price, I understand this is different from other preorders. Based on the distribution channel I am relying on, I really don't know exactly how my price is going to be. Actually all preorder customers in China do know what they end up paying in the end. The 3rd companies (maybe only half of them) will give out a so-called RRP such as "300+ RMB" or "600+ RMB", but no exact amount. Preorder customers usually get preorder price, lower than later RRP. I can get import price which is lower than preorder price. But in future, if I don't put preorder in, I will have to either preorder enough quantity myself or pay preorder price instead of import price.

I guess maybe I need to work out an estimate formula to at least put an indicated price?

12a - Pricing items on Sale Posts
All regular Saleyard sales need to have a Price noted for each item (or Lot/group of items).
If you aren't sure of an item's value and don't want to feel cheated later, do some research on ebay first or ask in the Price-Check topic. It can be better to list at a high-end price and then discount it, or publicly mention that you will accept 'near-enough' offers (which the BUYER needs to publicly post).
Just be aware that unless you are just wanting to get rid of your toys in a hurry for cheap, selling as a Group Lot or Set might seem easier for you, but are less likely to sell, or even at a respectable price.
If you prefer an Auction format, you can do that here as well (see the recommended format below), but it is best to use a dedicated site like Ebay, and then just promote it in the ebay/dealer section.
Vague things like EOIs (expressions of interest) are not permitted in the Saleyard for single items - EOIs are only permitted in the Group Orders section to gauge the interest in a bulk order, and should only be done by someone prepared to go through with it.

If in doubt ask griffin what you can or can't do.

TW not JAZZ in shipping, will arrive in Melbourne in 15 days, 99 AUD + shipping, pay on receive is ok. (I can only give roughly estimate before shipping, the exact amount refers to auspost's tag, I did find two different post offices gave me different quote on same item same packaging).

Estimate would be better then no price yes, just so long as you can figure out a formula where your estimate ends up within no more then say $10-20 of the final price I think most would be happy enough with that.

Either that or you just set a price and if the item is cheaper good for eveyone but if it's more you would probably in fairness end up paying the difference out of pocket, which is unfortunately the price one has to pay if they are selling an item that doesnt have a final price (and why this type of business can be tricky to balance).

Remember to shop around with post carriers as you have more options then AusPost too.
Also if you use http://www.transdirect.com.au/ you can get quotes forr multiple couriers at once.
And lastly for parcel dimensions when in doubt look at the dimensions of similar sized items, if you compile a list of approximate sizes and weights you should be able to also figure out a postage price list to add to your first post so that people have a rough idea what each thing will cost to send
