- mosselman 6y agoWow, the pound has seen better times.
- billpg 6y agoCheers Boris!
- mekkkkkk 6y agoIt's not a straight conversion, parent poster refers to GB/EU pricing of the product. A straight conversion would be ~54£. I did a double take as well, and had to look it up.
- tmhrtly 6y agoHowever US pricing is normally exclusive of tax whereas the U.K. price is inclusive of 20% VAT. 54*1.2 is around £65 so not that far off the £67 price.
- mekkkkkk 6y agoI did not know that. So when ordering stuff in the US, the tax is added at the checkout stage? Is it because of state tax laws being different or something?
- jonp888 6y agoI guess that's part of it, although in this day and age it's trivial to equip each branch with a laser printer and program which adds the local sales tax. However, there's a simpler reason: for psychological reasons no retailer is going to voluntarily put higher prices on their shelves than they have to, and since unlike most other countries there is no consumer protection law requiring the the actual checkout price including sales tax to be displayed, they don't.
- kzrdude 6y agoOr the customs of your country might slap extra taxes on it when it is imported.
- a254613e 6y ago>€69 (DE) Where did you find that price? On the official purchase page[1] the lowest price is 97 EUR (which is around $113) [1] https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-400/?resellerType=home&variant=raspberry-pi-400-de-kit https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-400/?resel...
- namero999 6y agoDepends whether the reseller is selling the kit or just the device. Welectron for instance lists both, and device-only is 69 EUR. https://www.welectron.com/Raspberry-Pi-400-Computer-DE https://www.welectron.com/Raspberry-Pi-400-Computer-DE
