What's the serial number?

Did you know that price is over 20 percent more than the price for a
new unit in the US (and probably elsewhere)? Since this is used I'd say
you'd get more offers below 1600 GBP...


Best,

But that price is not only in UK but obviously everywhere in Europe, and
I know that in Japan is even higher.
And, Sounddevices not allows U.S. dealer to sell outside of your
country. Even in the internet era.

so does paying for back up and support myself (possibly with less
shipping time) work out more or less than the amount i save with a grey
import over the cost from a uk vendor?

you might guess from my use of the phrase "no brainer" what i've
concluded.

i'm curious to know what prompted the shift in SD's policy on
international sales.

i (like many i'm sure) not only wish that foriegn products were closer
to a 'global price' in the UK, i also wish similar products made in the
UK were more competitively priced by international standards. other
prime examples would be radio mics, mixers or even having cables made.

maybe 1 day my turn over will be high enough for me to support british
'industry' more than i aready do and to the extent that some believe i
should.

eric,

i'm sure there have been costs for all manufacturers to pass onto
customers due to retooling etc for non-lead based solder production. i
have not seen any major changes in the price diffences from before to
after but i guess there are some vendors who would site that as another
reason for the massive price differences (that have been around long
before the no lead thing).

what you are saying implies that manufacturers, american, european and
worldwide are now producing different circuit boards etc for the
different markets and their rules. i'm hoping someone will put us both
straight on this 1 but i imagine that manufacturers in our (relatively
narrow) field might be loosing some of the economies of scale if that
is what they are doing.

more likely, in breaking new markets, agreements with uk vendors have
included certain 'guarantees' about the availability of the products.

Could it be the "no lead in solder' policy that Larry Fisher mentioned
regarding European sales?
