Any reason why? All of the sudden, new Indo guy like Renav becomes the darling of cheap Indo MTO, back then it was Sagara, Junkard, Txture.

They have been one of the more popular ones for a while now, i ordered from them back in early 2021 for the first time and unlike Onderhoud he actually replies to me, even if communication takes a while at times. Also he is actually still cheap. $450 for Shinki HB last i checked.

Onderhoud is permanently swarmed. Nu-Indo guys are basically his rip off.
