Approximate values of each item would be nice, but I guess you'd have to be
specific that you're not actually selling the stuff. Maybe an automatic
price research thing, that'd pull the latest prices from all the online
stores that have that item?

Manufacturers are supplying us with the pricing info and we are inputting it
as quickly as we can. Associated's pricing is almost 100% complete. So far
we are opting out of doing a price-grabber system but that doesn't mean we
won't do it down the road.

Kerry,

Its a nice concept and initial impressions are that it is nice and
simple to navigate, which is good. No sign of Thunder Tiger as a
manufacturer though and no XTR under Schumacher's off road nitro. I
only looked up my 2 cars. :-)

Good luck with the site,

Simon

We have not added the Thundertiger products yet and the XTR is there. You
can find in by category, by searching on Schumacher, by manufacturer list,
or by searching on XT-R.

Well, that may scare off some potential newbies. "Manufacturers" prices are WAY
over what the actual "street" prices are.

>Associated's pricing is almost 100% complete.

I beleive Associated is most guilty of all for over-pricing products on their
packaging.
I paid under $200 (at the LHS) for my first rc10gt. The price on the box?
$589.99

That would be best.
A visitor could view a specific kit or product, and then link to a page with
prices from several online sources, showing prices.
Some of the electronics/computer supply websites include this feature.
Such a resource for the RC hobby would be terrific.
So far, the site looks great though.
Good job.
