I emailed them at 7.46pm on Sunday night local time and its now Tuesday 10.46am local time and as yet there is no reply.
The web might be smart or it might not be but Australia is NOT in the EU so if the 295 euro price quoted to me does happen to be exclusive of VAT then I still need an explanation as to why the price for Australia is US$75 or 52 euros MORE than the price for US customers not including shipping.
The logical supposition is that their website is not smart at all and is quoting me a price in euros that includes VAT despite the fact that Australian customers don't have to pay VAT which would explain the discrepancy.
I am not prepared to be gouged on price because I want the product - that would be silly. Uness there is an explanation that makes the pricing policy fair, such as the VAT thing, then there is a massive arbitrage opportunityfor someone in the states to buy these things from bookeen and then sell them on ebay to people like me and I will just wait to get a fair price.
Of course a prompt response to my email enquiry would help a lot...
