hi,

> Ok, so if they are 10 a penny over in America, why doesnt a UK dealer buy up a load of the things for the cheap US price, ship em over here and sell them on to us at "slightly" more than the US price (taking into account thier shipping charges etc). that way they can charge less than the £50 for them!????

market forces. they've been selling them at 50 ukp and people have been
buying. why reduce the price and not make the money? cant blame them can
you...if noone bought them, the price would go down...until they sold out
and they wouldnt then order any more.

as for UK dealer buying up..... well, say they did invest a couple of
hundred $'s...what if there was no demand....a waste of time, yes?

> Someone who got caught by Customs and had to pay VAT on Paul Nolans Photogenics :(

didnt buy it from Schatztruhe then? ;-)
