Maybe I'm old fashioned but I'm saddened to see members of this forum trying to sell Carrera cars etc. from the Argos offer at greatly inflated prices.

I accept that what they are doing is not illegal but I believe it is immoral.

The only people who are likely to go for these "offers" will be new to the forum if not the hobby and I thought that one of the main purposes of the forum is to promote slot racing. Personally, I don't think the moderators should allow such adverts.

Am I wrong?

Rant over.

I doubt if a tax officer or customs inspector will view it in this way. Anyone buying such an amount of sets can't justify that 'they're for my own personal use' especially when splitting them and selling separately to make a profit. It smacks of cross channel booze trips selling cheap **** and booze, which we all know is illegal because you are evading tax and duties. Whats the difference?
