I'm really quite happy to wait in order to get it at a reasonable price. |
Hi Maxk
That was my post and by way of clarification:
The price to by a Cybook for Australia is 295 euros which is about $US425 so Australians have to pay $US75 MORE than US customers.
I had hoped that perhaps the reason for the discrepancy (given their claim that their pricing is "fair") was that the website was adding VAT because the price was in euros.
I wrote to them and asked them but 4 days later they haven't bothered to reply and the subsequent comments from Michael Dahan (who sent a read receipt to my email) suggest there is no error. Also if you look at the prices for european countries like UK & Germany, their price is higher which suggests the Aussie price does NOT have VAT added.
It was only speculation on my part that VAT was getting added so apologies if I confused you.
