The best price I'm aware of is at http://www.toddsmodels.com/, where a
X9303 2.4 A/S Tx w/DSM 9 Ch Rx No SXS Mode 2 is $530.  I believe the
Horzion price for that is $630.  Looks like shipping is $11.

The general sentiment that I've seen about Todd's Models on rcgroups
has been very positive.

This Radio is backordered due to limited supply and high demand I do not think 
anybody is doing heavy discounting.

One just sold on RC groups and sold in 30 sec.

Hello,
JR products are MAP priced so no one can advertise below a set cost.

Hmm - what is MAP priced?  Isn't that price fixing?  I thought that was
illegal?

MAP pricing is Minimum Advertised Pricing.  It's usually just an 
agreement between the distributor/mfg'er and the seller to not 
*advertise* anything below that price.  They can still sell it to you at 
whatever they'd like.

It still seems to be a form of price fixing. I see many CO's doing it in the RC 
world. Castle, TP, I am sure there are others!

Just my thoughts.

Indeed it does.  To be more precise, it says `Minimum Advertised
Price* $629.99' for this particular model (without servos.)

However, when you add it to your cart, it says

   X9303 2.4 A/S Tx w/DSM 9 Ch Rx No SXS Mode 2   $529.99   $529.99

and it's quite obvious that this is one of those cases where there is
a MAP, and the site appears to be `jumping through hoops' to be able
to sell the item at a discount without technically violating the MAP.

It also appears to be in stock, if somebody wants to buy it.

(No, I don't have anything to do with Todd's Models.  I'm not even a
customer, though I would buy a x9303 from them if my bank account
looked better.)
