My God! My v3 was just delivered and
I didn't have the money to pay for the damn sales tax. They have to come back tomorrow!!! Fucking hell.
They must have put an extra customs fee on top of the sales tax (this is Germany where sales tax alone is 19%).
The delivery man was asking for 84 Euros - like any average joe would have that in his wallet! That's almost double what I quoted above!!
So, at the end of the day (my God I can't believe this), if you live in Germany and order a V3 from Jinke's website, you're going to pay a grand total of:
394 Euros
Which means:
Although the device sells for
329 Dollars on the website, by the time it falls into your eager little hands, you will have parted with:
553 Dollars 
That's a 59% increase over that original figure. I don't care how useful this thing ends up being (I'll have to find out tomorrow as I had to turn the delivery man away for now), I wouldn't pay that again. Period.
