Look through here:
http://www.otca.com.au/dealer.html
It hasn't been updated in ages, but most should still exist. If in doubt, just ask here if anyone else has used them.

I don't think so. There is a Metroplex KO but I haven't heard of an Omega KO.

Not that I know of.


I can recommend eBay seller hyakushiki0100. Comes to about $10 cheaper. Unfortunately he put his prices up a few weeks ago by about $10-15 per item now that he has established himself.

That really p#sses me off when they do that!

Yet another seller trying to syphon a few more dollars out of TF People's pockets...

I don't understand this concept. Do you feel that businesses should only make the most minimal profits they can?

I'm not gonna start this sh#t again

There's a difference between a small time seller like hyakushiki0100 and BBTS. hyakushiki0100 reduced prices as much as he could to begin with in order to gain a strong reputation and build a customer base - any beginners guide to eBay selling will advise that. Six months later he now charges around RRP on his listings, and I still recommend him - his prices arn't extortionate.

BBTS is a different story. Whenever their listings start gaining populatiry and running low they start jacking up the price. Seen it many times, and when they started charging more for items that I pre-ordered at a lower price I stopped shopping there and boycotted them. Satan will be wearing thermal undies and a ugg boots before I shop there again .

Pulse, you're a big proponent of BBTS and opponent of market based pricing. What's your opinion on Tober's comments?

I told you I'm not answering anymore questions to do with pricing/scalping etc.
