the problem is that most sellers buy from guys like 126fan and then hike the prices up a ridiculous amount. i used to bid on german e bay and a well known brit spare supplier would buy in euros and convert straight to pounds (this was when the pound was stronger) so 30 euros became £30!! and fifty percent profit to boot now the euro exchange rate is not so good prices have rocketted. but 126 fan has not as they are not like our greedy brit spares suppliers...so buy with confidence and get a bargain to boot!
