Couldn't find it on that site but then bear in mind you'll probably also
have to pay import duty (6%) and VAT on that price!

Nope does not apply within the EC, you will pay German VAT on it but
that will probably already be included within the price.

You only have to worry about VAT and import duty when bringing
something in from outside the European Free Trade area (EC plus a few
other countries)

Yes - that's the one I'd quoted my lowest price from! Dear old Frank sent me
the link to that site a couple of weeks back...

So I take it they're pretty good at pricing matching then? Got to be worth a
try if that is the case! Cheers Matt

If you're based in Ireland then this is probably a good price but bringing it to the Uk
you risk having to pay VAT on it which makes it about 690 quid (for the basic model).

Ok, so you may not get caught but I have ordered a few "bargains" in the past only to
be hit with a huge VAT bill later

I paid £690 for a CCR Tmx version.
