So, before you think about buying from overseas because of the increased purchasing power of your currency, be sure to factor in shipping costs.As a German buying a lot from the US the shipping cost are a real problem. Each USPS parcels costs about $25-$35. With that cost I do never buy a single car or a single low priced Athearn RTR engine. To get the German/US price, the EURO/$ exchange rate and the shipping cost in an acceptable relation the value should be $150 in minimum. I assume you have similar problems buying in the OK.
