yeah it is a rip off. the cost of materials that is used on the scooter, probably are around that similar price range of the scooter(idk). And don't companies sell their products for more $$$ compared to the price it costed to make them? ?!

its just a bolted pro with metalcores, some stickers, new grips, and a wierd t-tube clamp. so the actual cost would be like 50+100+10+25= less than 200 dollars

Everyone stop bitching.
Skater HQ does so much for the scooter community in NSW.
I would buy anything from them, who cares if its overpriced a bit ey ?
They are so supportive of the scooter scene.
Just today they held a scooter comp.
They gave away around $2000 worth of prizes and put on a good day

Well, look at it this way.
To get all that shipped would be a ton.
We don't have amazon, our pro models are around $120.
Andrew, doesn't ship to Australia, and the shipping from Estonia through Madis is about the same, or more.
So all in all, we're looking at a hell load for that scooter you just described.

I really don't see it as being that overpriced. Americans, you need to remember that it's $500 Aus dollars which is ~$387 American, and the super solid American scooter you described (with cheap SR shipping and $40 pro's) is around $350. ADDED with the fact that Aus does NOT have $40 pro's and cheap SR shipping, AND the company needs to make SOMEWHAT of a profit if it wants to survive, so if you stop and do all the math, this is a fairly priced scooter. It just looks like a lot of money because you're buying all the sick parts (that you eventually would buy anyway) all at one time, and they're charging you a bit extra to put it all together and to profit.
Personally I think it's sick that there's shops that are promoting the freestyle scooter scene. If I didn't have all the aftermarket parts I do now and I lived in Aus I would probably buy this scooter because I think it looks "sick as". So yeah, way to go Skater HQ
