Pricing: Engine House Hobbies does not move the volume of products to provide routine discount pricing. Other than consignments, special deals, closeouts and the like, prices are normally determined by the current manufacturer's suggest retailed price. All discounts are based on the manufacturer's retail price.

Pricing of items in production or routinely produced and are routinely restocked (such as track, accessories and the like) are posted on the web with a dollar value with the year the price was posed posted followed a "CC." Time and resources do not always allow for timely updates of prices changes of website prices on routinely stocked items. The "CC" reflects that the price charged will be the current manufacturer's catalog price. For example, a track item may be listed as "$2.00 as of 2010/CC. However, the price charged will be the current catalog price."

Depending on the item, and at the discretion of the proprietor, cheaper prices may be met with the presentation of evidence of bona fide posted regular pricing of a competitor. But, it should be expected, cost will be recovered unless it is a clearance or discontinued item.  Items will not be sold less than dealer cost to meet the advertised price of others.(Return)
