Thanks for your continued support Charles 
However, I believe that now is the time to come clean. On all our products we spray a thin film of a magic potion that, when a buyer comes in contact with, it leads to a change in brain function, namely "ADDICTION".

Do you sell the spray can as a separate item, too?

OMG BERNIE!!!
you reminded me of the scene from movie "So I Married an Axe Murderer"
Where Mike Myers (playing his father) discusses conspiracy theories and KFC - with a special chemical that makes you crave it fortnightly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKRFlNryaWw
so funny - I want the special Cox Intl Addiction Spray!!!

Shades of conspiracy theories! 
Now I know they are all true! 
Prior to my order to Cox International some 10 years ago, I had less than a dozen engines. Now I have over 70.
No wonder why Leroy Cox's airplanes sold like hotcakes while A.C. Gilbert lost their shirts in sales.
And, may explain why Estes wasn't able to make a dent with their RTF sales, lacked training in using those aerosols.
Now I understand why I am hooked!

Yes, two great guys and two great organizations. I refer to them affectionately as Bert and Ernie. I also try to divide my orders (which are frequent) equally between the two. I think, but do not know for sure that it's best for them to order directly though their website vice going through ebay.
And like Mark, or was it Kim it seems like a 25$ order blossems to twice that and more by the time you get through and submit it.
Oh yes, nice job assembling those engines Charles. All new parts I would guess???

new soft squishy bits
used hard metal bits, or the bits I had.
new surestart back-plates, cause I can't find enough bee tanks
(unless we knew someone who would trade me some tanks for some dirty, dirty WenMac motors needing attention)
reeds, gaskets, etc - new
and a bunch of used heads.
i had many of these as dirty motors, I tried to keep them all together as original as possible.
some are straight up bitsas though.
NOW! I need to get em flying. --- if it weren't for these 3 little .020s on the bench... yeah, I sent Bernie MORE money

For us, it does not matter on which platform you order but please note that, on our website, pricing on almost all items is 10% to 25% lower that the same item on eBay. Also, eBay now collects sales tax for almost all USA states, all EU countries and also for a few other countries; whereas we only collect and remit taxes for Canadian residents.
Depending on where you live, you could save up to 40% by shopping on our website directly, as opposed to on eBay.
Now, is that an incentive to shop directly on our website or what?

Yes, of course only on eBay as auction. Can't really have a unique product for sale in two different locations

Turns out, shopping at your website is great for both of us. I did not realize the buyers savings were that substantial.
Now.............if I only could remember all that I need each time I order rather than some of what I need, think of the shipping savings.

Some EU countries have up to a 20% VAT (Value Added Tax); which also gets charged on shipping costs by eBay, so not having to pay taxes can make quite a difference. Coupled with almost invariably lower product pricing, it adds up.
Furthermore, our International shipping costs are $2 lower on our website. This means that our customers can simply reinvest the savings into more purchases

Congratulations on your win
Please let us know if you need an exact count as to how many backplate screws, CC gaskets, venturi gaskets, reeds and reed retainers are included.
Should we hold your merchandise for combined shipping (no shipping cost for additional items)?

I can confirm that . At 27% we Hungarians pay the highest VAT in the EU...not that I am proud about it...

We do have to declare something, and it's usually only CA$15, so if Customs even bothers, it's only VAT on $15 + their processing fee.
This used to fly under the 22 Euro exemption in the EU but now the exemption is gone - protectionism at it's best

VAT is only one nuisance...anything entering Hungary from outside the EU goes into customs and delivery is delayed by weeks...

Yep!
Every time I stick my hand into my pocket, there is another hand already in there taking my money before I pay for it!
Tripple taxation without representation!
And the money goes to our politicians who are always taking more handouts (from lobbyists) than our poor people?
