I agree they are selling these engines rather cheap on Ebay it makes me wonder.I just won a Raw kit for $70.00 for a friend of mine.The few people selling them that cheap through Ebay will not work with you if you were to get a defective part in the kit..BGF,luckyearlybird blocked me from purchasing from them because one.they wouldn't honor their kits when i asked for a replacement part two.I left them bad feedback so they blocked me from contacting an purchasing from them!That is what gets alot of peoples interest (wow a whole kit for $100+free shipping) I would not recommend purchasing from them due to my own experience!

Could be the season...money tied up in inventory that just sits for the winter months can screw you when you want to stock up on something else that will move at this time of year.

70 bucks for a Raw kit!!!!!!!!Who was the seller?I would like to buy a few from them....I bought a engine replacement from BGF and have had no problems...Leave me a link to the seller of that Raw kit you bought....At these prices it really doesnt matter if they honor a warranty,they are so cheap to replace....

At a hundred bucks they are NOT losing money I assure you. They would like to get 250 for them I am sure but they will probably take the buck you are offering.

I got a responce....He said he couldnt do 3 at 100 dollors a peice becouse to save money on shipping he sends 2 to a box so he said he would sell me 4 for that,then I told him I would just buy 2 and he agreed to it....
I remember when I started buying these engine kits 3 to 4 years ago and I was paying 229.00 shipped....Man I love the price of these engine now....It is a no loose situation becouse they are so cheap....

It may also be that it's getting out the price of a basic kit in china is around $21. It's the brokering, import, shipping that jacks the price up. I'd guess if you are ordering enough of them at a time the shipping really starts to drop.

PS. $21 price quoted from a different thread

I second that....
Id rather pay 140 for a 48cc Dax than 100 for a cheapo.......

AaronF-

You spent 800 bucks in the last two months on these things, but you told me you didn't have any money and needed a throttle cable, C clip and carb slide!

Now I have a box of spare parts that used to be a full kit, and you are caught in a lie.

Not cool.
