Ixo has apparently found a couple of containers full of PremiumX models. I've been offered several for about half of what that ebay seller wants.

Remember the November '20 IXO Store sale with PX cars for $15? It has been on my mind while inputting the details in DCDB. I bought 12 cars from the great time. Perhaps just a memory with current inflation?

Most are still at € 13.45 at CK, I've noticed.

Shipping to here anywhere North of China is far too pricey now.
US..appears on eBay to be the worst..

Shipping firms have used covid as a cover to up their rates. Apparently we still need their services so they have no motivation to lower their rates again.

Correct. There is no inflation, corporate profits have just gone up exponentially. Guess at whose expense...

I just ordered three models from the Mexican partworks series for $15 each (well, double with shipping, but still a good deal) from a e-bay seller in Italy, here is a link: www.ebay.com/str/bimaxitaliaThey have a number of hard-to-find P/W models at very reasonable prices.

Ebay seller Bimaxitalia is "Mondo Model Cars" : www.mondomodelcars.it/It's generally cheaper and easier to buy through their website, where they will usually deduct the VAT for non-EU purchases.

They have a great selection of obscure models. Nice!
