What a crazy world we now live in......
My Matra Simca F1 car arrived from Japan today from Model Factory Hiro.

It cost me £390 ($527 USD) delivered from the factory. Usually these models are sold out pretty quick but for some reason this one was still in stock.

I could have bought it here: Click image



£1038 + £20 delivery + 20% tax total. £1269.00 ($1750 USD)

My HPH 1/48th B36 kit was about $600 US when it finally shipped from HPH in the Czech Republic several years ago, and a big part of that was the shipping. Later on I saw that Sprue Bros had one for sale at $1400. Of course HPH is now defunct and that limited edition kit of 100 is probably worth it if you really want one.
