As a point of clarification, in my initial post I agreed that the eDGe is a poor value for Europeans right now. I wouldn't have bought an eDGe if the price had been ~$750 and I don't begrudge you for feeling frustrated about it.

What I took issue with is your persistence in making claims that it was in enTourage's ability and interest to offer the eDGe at a more favorable price within a very short period of time... and then supporting those assertions with arguments that were either ignorant of simple facts, inconsistent with basic economics, and/or otherwise logically incoherent. For example, in your penultimate paragraph of your last post, you note that Poles earn substantially less... is it not immediately obvious to you why that's a reason for enTourage *not* to invest heavily in establishing a market presence? That completely undermines your initial post when you asserted that Eastern Europe represented an incredibly untapped market opportunity for enTourage...

But I digress. I don't have any additional ideas for how you can buy an eDGe--and never asserted that I did. Rather, I simply sought to correct what I believed to be inaccurate statements with respect to what was either within enTourage's purview or interest. My suggestions for you would be simply suggest that you confine your future remarks to lamenting your inability to afford an eDGe rather than asserting that enTourage is overlooking some sort of tremendous market opportunity by focusing on other markets for the foreseeable future. If you make claims that defy economics, then I will feel compelled to deconstruct your logic and explain precisely why I see that post as in error.
