If you look at the price Vat is included so if that was to be sent to north america this would come off .
Yes these Machines are expensive..I have both purchased and built construction models ..If you have built a construction machine you would know what kind of work is involved in these intricate peices of equipment ..If you ask anyone of the scratch building excavtors modelers (or constuction) machine if they sold their machines for $7000 they would be lucky to get even $5 bucks an hour for their labour .
Even with the high tech equipment that Premacon ,Robbe , THS ,Fumotech or scaleart have at their disposal I dont see alot of profit for these higher end models.
I have friends that wont even batt an eye when purchasing a 35k harley or even a 50k boat ..I beleive a hobby is a hobby reguardless and If you can afford it all the power to you . Just sayin
