Are you from the taobao shop box (the owner醉酒清風)or are you the just an agent?
Yeah, there is definitely a lot profit in the RC industry !
The company I work for (in China) makes QuadCopter motors (soon skateboard motors), and Camera gimbals, they usually sell it for 160-200% of the cost, then chinese reseller adds his comission + shipping inside china, then Hobbyking buys it and adds its comission + shipping.
It’s not a bad model, it’s just that seeing the low volume of the DIY Esk8 market sales, this is not the appropriate one.

I can get discounts from the Taobao seller easily, and I am searching factory to get the best price, Just take time to find it. Hope to get a better price for you guys! Also I will always transparent about how much I earn on this.
I am not the ower. Just the owner said he can give me a good price for all the products in his store. That’s why I post his products in the forum. But I have not got a quote yet, as long as I get it I will update the price on the form.
Woah, thanks for the link! I’ll probably buy a proper vanguard instead, thanks again!

What the Hell dude chill out… your not on marketplace… your on privately own forum for and abouth diy… take a look around most seller around here are well known from the community and has contributed to his expension… most of them don’t even make money. I never said that I’m agaist chinese reseller, I just don’t want 50 of them haging around, and I feel we should support people who take the time to contribute to this community, other than people who just show up to sell stuf, without having to do there own homework.
You are pretty new to this forum… may I suggest you to read more, and get more info before getting involve in a political mess.

Really… really… your taking everything put of context here… please as a new member do your homework…
I didn’t said vendor shouldn’t make profit, I said vendor are not making huge profit around here… And that pool was only answer by less than 0.2% of the community… which is not really representative…
And please don’t drag this thread of topic

Ok… I’m sorry but…

@KneelB4ZOD I’ll give you a bit of maybe why we’re generally pretty opposed to sellers like this. A lot of the members here have delt with chinese manufacturers; some are okay and even good, so we obviously continue to do business with those.
I think I’m pretty safe in saying that in our collective experience, many manufacturers and resellers (especially those in electronics, like those selling “VESCs”) are not interested enough in quality (which directly effects our personal safety) and many of our members have been hurt physically or monetarily due to this. We’re hesitant to branch out to new manufactures or resellers much, especially to recommend them to our newer builders who aren’t as familiar with some of the nuances of building electric boards, and wanting to save some money but don’t know where they can do so.
