I've been searching for certain SOCs (GX-14, GX-18, etc.) at prices I can afford, and I came across this website. As far as I can tell, these ARE prices in US dollars. However, maybe its useful as a reference if you're trying to insure your collection!! www.chogokins.com/

The name sounds familiar and possibly that seller is a member here.

Kuwaiti Dinars are approx. 1 to 4US
In addition its likely harder to get these in KU
maybe that's the going rate in KU and the seller just translated KU to US
besides how many of us are really going to "mail" order stuff from Kuwait?
might as well order it from HK

Based on the shipping costs at the bottom of the page, it seems like he's in the US, not Kuwait!
"*The Shipping is $15 Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation "Processing, Handling and Shipping times will take up to 2 weeks in USA and $40 WORLDWIDE by EMS Express Mail with Tracking Number. I will NOT ship by any other way."

Don't we have a member here from Kuwait? Maybe we should ask that member if they know that seller.

If it is him then perhaps he can clarify if those prices are indeed in US dollars or not. Because if they are in US dollars I don't think anyone will be buying from that site, at least nobody from here.

Sorry - I had no intentions of disrespecting any site members. When doing an online search for some figures I need, I came across your site. Glad you came forward to explain your prices. Good luck with your site.

With reference to his pricing, I think his brain missed a few exits back on the freeway and probably fueled up with diesel instead of regular. ronin777...........first no need to insult anyone....second if you don't have the money nobody is forcing you to buy......third even if you have a little extra cash.... I would not sell you even a tooth pick.....forth I don't drink nor use diesel.....if you can not afford buying a gallon of oil instead of milk to drink every morning then suggest for you to keep shopping at your local grocery store around the corner where you get your 2% half water filled drinks ;D ............in this forum.....members should respect all others at all times....this is a member to member and collector to collector based website for communication about certain topics NOT for discussing other reputations like you know them personaly....cheers

good luck on your venture godaikinz My employer sends employees to Kuwait on a weekly basis as we're invloved in the Kuwait University project, so I'm quite familiar with its higher cost of living and the value of the KWD
