      I am not sure I understand that?

      I don't understand why products made in Europe are more expensive in Europe than in the US?

      For example B&W 800 Diamond

      In the UK £18,500 = $29,000

      En France 22 000€ = $29,220

      In the US $24,000 !

        sales tax in UK is 20% now

        I think your US price is net of sales tax, yes?, so $24k + 20% is near enough $29k

        that and the fact that we're less good at pushing for discounts than you US guys

            There is sales tax in Florida. Florida does not have a state income tax, but they hit you hard with the local property taxes to more and make up for everything.
