That is a good price. Believe it or not, my LHS sells them for $11.95. I buy them only because they have been the best plugs for me in terms of reliability and life expectancy.

11.95 is higher than we pay for the OS F which around here is 10.99. The OS 8 is about $7.00

from what i've seen on ebay and what i've seen at the hobby shops, the price of glow plugs is crazy. How can some people sell them on ebay for 6.50 a piece when the local hobby shops charge 12$ or even more? sounds like the LHS markup on the plugs is fairly high.

Glow Plug

Hi,

Great Hobbies has the plugs listed at $7.99 and if you go for their Great Deal "GHPHD06" of ordering 12 plugs, you get a 15% off the regular price.

A cross reference for other plugs can be found here:
http://209.15.36.61/rdrc/gloplugs.html
and here:
http://www.maxxtraxxusa.com/Glow_Plu..._in_herre_.cfm



The Great Deal above allows you to include any 12 plugs. As a suggestion, you may want to do is order one or two other makes that are cross referenced, and see if you can find another, less costly, plug to do the same job.

Just a suggestion.

Hope this helps.

Fly4Fun,

Wayne Miller

bought the plugs off of ebay. got them for about 4$ each. I wouldn't buy them from GH if they were the only shop that sold them.
