Yup I agree with you...AND to speculate a bit, on sites like Alibaba they have the same ZS190cc listed at $250-$300 for a MOQ of 20-30 engines...not sure if they get bulk shipping rates or what that looks like but man they might be making a hundred bucks or even two or Im guessing $300 probably at most even after shipping depending if they get a good or a really great deal on shipping and if they get an even better bulk price than what I listed on getting hundreds of engines at a time--which they probably do get a better price than $300 each, at least for the entire kit, maybe $200 or less for each engine plus $50 to $100 per engine or each engine+kit is what I will speculate with my basic info.

I asked around Alibaba trying to get a motorcycle that is normally not sold in the USA awhile back--I even pretended to be a business asking for a 1 motorcycle sample order with the promise of doing more business. I got a couple answers from people who didn't really want to make the deal and even one person who knew I think knew I wasn't a business but asked me what emissions specs I needed and asked for my business ID to mess with me or disqualify me as a buyer. The couple different people who answered told me it would be at least between $300-$600 for shipping a whole bike depending on which one I went with and it might even get seized in customs for emissions violations because the normally imported brand new bikes I guess are certified for emissions and put on a list so even if they had a brand new bike that might pass CARB standards, if it is new and not on that list it might at least get held by customs and incurr extra headaches maybe some kind of extra cost and at least cost time.
