Note that all the engines on that site are higher than regular.
Estes A3-4T's are 15.95 Euros , equal to $16.82. Estes website price, $11.29. So, 49% higher price. Estes D12's, 19.50 Euros, $20.58. Estes website price $13.49, for TWO. Those D20 engines, cost 24.00 Euros, for THREE. So, actually CHEAPER than Estes D12's Of course, they have the costs of shipping engines from the US and import fees and such. So pretty much, if you want to do this hobby in Europe, it's gonna cost you a whole lot more. Same for a lot of other countries overseas, other than those who have their own in-country engine makers who are *legally* making motors (which a lot of famous engines, like the Czech "Delta" engines, were made "underground", unregulated, illegal, but "under the radar", until an explosion killing someone). IIRC, the cost of Estes & Aerotech engines in Australia is twice as much, if not more, due to shipping and import issues.
