Check this out...

This motor is priced for 2728/- INR

I paid less than this for a HK 2.4Ghz 6ch Radio including shipping.  

This motor itself is priced around $9~10 on HK which means it would not more than 700/- INR including shipping to India.

Add 200/- INR for the margin. So total 900/- INR. Its still 3 times less than the listed price...

Notice the Tag line of the shop:


'Toy' shows how informed and serious customer they target to.

Original Price + 50% Shipping + 50% Customs + 100% Margin = 300% (=three times) is what things used to be till sometime back. R/C is like importing a Sports car from west!
With so many LHS coming up, only good service, personal rapport, price and helpfulness of the seller (coz RC is different from Cooking) are deciding factor whom to go for. Every body has right for any price to ask. If one is not educated enough to compare prices and other factors, he is bound to fall prey to costly seller.

Nobody is prosecuted for Bidding with higher price for a Contract. He simply looses the Bid at the end.

Divey, Don't tell me you are going to repeat the Futaba 10CG episode here as well!! I am going to apply for a leave to watch the action!!

Yes Sumeet!
I'm agree with you.
This is the reason that people prefer to buy from foreign resellers. Bcoz some dealers create different image for selling the same products at high price.
pls visit www.flyrcmodel.com to check the recent price of rc products.

I already checked...My friend.

Same 2822 1200KV motor , 39 gm sold by VKSingh at Rs. 450/- + Shipping 85/- (Flat for one shipment) in India. I purchased and a good one for value for money.

So, 300% goes to 510% here.
Mathematics only.

Thanks for the information Kalyan!

We are also looking for standard products and best value for the money. It's really nice to see the  products by the same manufacturer are used in different locations. After all people understood the actual cost.

***In addition
Marketing depend's upon how seller co-operate with the customers. This seller has shown a better marketing procedure to educate people by the products.
Please upload the pics and flying video if possible for you.

See i am looking forward for a long time dedicated professional RC hobby shops who not only sell rc stuff but also properly guide people what to buy if needed  . For a company who imports these rc planes & accessories in a right legal way & sells them with a right profit margin i don't mind paying them that amount.. yes but i would definitely not buy products at a crazy price 

Yes! I totally agree and appreciate this opinion.
As we are observing there is lack of information and technique for the students and beginners for creating such different things! We are also into that proceeding to guide the beginners properly. Sharing information helps us to proceed further.
Thanks to RC India members for sharing such useful information.
