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!????
