Thanks for the news, i'm in Italy and i don't speak german. I've only understood that thalia ship in Italy for an honest shipping price, so can someone is so wonderful to retrieve an email for to deal with Thelia ?

That's quite a bargain when you consider how expensive the 505 was in germany only a couple of months ago.

It's too expensive for USA residents at around $261.

I very much doubt they would ship there even if it wasn't.

That's not a surprise considering how USD has depreciated against EUR and also how the retail price of the 505 is a lot higher in Germany than in the US.

Unfortunately, they state: "Der Versand ins Ausland ist nicht möglich".
Meaning: No shipping outside of Germany.
I hate it. Especially within EU it's ridiculous. But I permanently have this with UK, which (theoretically) would be extremely cheap now.

That's because:

1. It includes the German VAT rate of 19%.
2. The US$ has fallen through the floor against the Euro recently.

It's a very good price for people in the "Euro Zone".

I can get one at $210. I just found a store. It's not the magical $179 but it might do.

play.com sometimes has factory refurbished 505 models or should i say fair trade companys like FactoryRefurbsDir who sell through play. i got a brand new 505 last week for £129 only a tear on the box to make it a refurb worth while to keep checking the site
