Cheap or good Quality Lipos ???

Managed to order the last two 2600 3S lipos from HK's UK warehouse on Wednesday - due to be delivered today. £35 delivered - or could have could gone overland to pay twice the price for a single equivalent. With HK's present troubles along with other global suppliers, our hobby might be getting a whole lot more expensive and parts far less available.

Very much so, though most price increases are due to the UK pound's ever decreasing value.

In turn that decreases the number of end customers which then reduces the importers incentive to import it.

Saft of France was an early 'genuine' manufacturer. I dunno if they still make them.

Definitely do.

Maybe not the sort we use, though.

A recent 10% reduction in the £/$ doesn't account for double the price - the economy's in trouble when the £'s too strong and equally, when it falls. The money men can't make up their minds.
