    The current size is about 80mm. Height is comparable to 75mm. (other sizes are also possible)
    My idea is that these wonderful figures by Alexander Deryabin can be used as a project for the younger generation of figure painters.
    With these figures you can, for example, pass on our hobby to the children.

    Hello, that's not entirely true. I sell to the UK, only via eBay. So you can buy the figures from the UK without any problem.

    A link to your eBay site would be useful.

    Hello Steve, yes, that's right. And I've already explained to you why.

    And I understand, but the fact still remains that your prices are higher on there because the customer is paying your fees on top of the item price.

    Price consists of several parts, Steve.
    And price for UK has one more part. Not because I like it that way, but because it is not possible otherwise.
    These are not "my fees".
    Using your logic, you can say that customs fees are also "my fees". Or shipping costs that I pay to DHL are "my fees".

    If you think that I pass the additional costs on to customers in full, then you are wrong. Even with higher prices on eBay, I get less than directly from my shop.
    I have always tried to make the prices as fair as possible. And that means that external price increases are immediately visible because my margin is not enough to compensate for it.

    Would you prefer if I had set my prices way too high from the start so that I don't have to increase them later?
    Or hide shipping costs in the unit price to offer "free shipping"?

    I get the Russian figures for Europeans because it's my passion. I earn nothing from it except constant stress with customs and the EU government. I squeeze every euro out of this price to offer it as cheaply as possible.
    And then there's always someone who thinks I've made a fortune at their expense.

    If my price is too high for you - don't buy it.
    But keep your accusations to yourself!

    No need to get defensive. It was an observation, not an accusation.

    I’ve bought from you several times in the past and just think it is a shame that you no longer sell to the UK in the same way that you still sell to the rest of the world. You stock some excellent ranges, and your service was always first rate.

    IMHO Ilya explained why he is no longer selling in the same way to the UK as before. Since Brexit fees etc changed for your companies and for the rest of the world.... If you did not mean to accuse him I got you wrong likewise. Cheers Martin

    Certainly.

    It's a lovely range of caricature figures. The Prospector (& his dog), the Undertaker and the Bandito are my favourites, but they're all nice.
