I think that 'KeithTau' is code for 'EvilDevil'...
Some asking prices are downright obscene. Some prices are pretty good. Postage is expensive - to be very moderate when dealing with KT.... Combining postage is like meeting the inspiration for Dracula!![xx(]  (Well not exactly, but a really shytey comination postage discount turns me well away) The most annoying thing is that he has good product. Some prices are more then laughable, they are a total joke.[V]

Years ago, bought some brand new rear late model tail lights from him, two sets. Price was very reasonable, as was postage, and delivery was QUICK.
Guess it can be good and bad. I notice some rarer items are priced somewhat ridiculously. Obviously he has people that pay that much. Guess something is worth what people want to pay for it.

Perhaps those expensive prices are just the going rates of the product...
I've got no problem with 90% of his prices.

The real 'evil devil'? - my local Toyota dealer.
Whenever I ask their prices for stuff, I leave quickly in a state of shock!!

Mixed bag, some are good, some are a joke. But if you're looking for something rare, and he's the only place that has it, can't blame him for trying to make a few $. And if you don't like his prices, you don't have to buy from him.

Some things are reasonable/market rates, but some things are ridiculous (e.g. TRD steering wheel).
But like any market, you don't have to buy if its too expensive!

I've bought a few things from RPM Garage and never had any issues.... although the prices on some of the rarer items are a bit over the top.

I think his postage prices are totally random and are just about theft. $44 US to send a pair of mats to Aus, but a Rev5 wing $116 US??? Dylan, you have lots of things posted around - how random do those postage prices look? You could roll up the mats and send them in a tube - a gen5 wing would need lots of packing and is pretty large... Nuts to KT[xx(] (Yes, true, no-one is forced to buy from him but some consistency in mailing prices would go a long way)

I've bought a fair few things from RPM below the asking price. Found that a few items I bought from him were much cheaper than buying off some members on this forum.
Not sure why you would call him the "EvilDevil". There are much more Evil people out there like murderers and rapists.
The consumer has the choice, to buy or not to buy. If his prices are too high, you can always send an offer. Yes he does have rare parts, but you don't expect him to sell it to you at a "cheap" price. He is a business, not a charity.

Well, I hope not too many people take that as literally as you may have. No, I don't think he is actually Satan - or even a nasty incarnate of Beelzebub[}:)], just more of an opportunist. Yes, thats free enterprise and no, no-one forces anyone to buy anything from him.
