I almost always try to buy from UK sites because *MOST* of them take off VAT and the weakness in GBP - the German and other EU sites never take off VAT though so I skip them
I usually see $30+ for shipping to US from Germany but UK stores do it for like $10
Like the NTer said above it was $225 but US shipping was $29. For the "authorized retailer" thing ask Oneness how they do it lol
True, it's better in EU because no shipping but $225 US is retail in EU?
