Hi, I am a OMmer but I can help you because I studied a bit the cost to sell the OM in Europe.
399 $ is the price of FR in US. We can image that EU reseller can buy FR in 10 pack, so 369 $ for unit (I don't know how much tehy pay, It is a supposition done to help calc) 369 $ => 240 Euro To this ammount you must to add expedition from US to EU: 160 $ / 10 = 16$ => 10 Euro To this ammount you must add Environmental tax + Dougane ( that replace TVA - 20%?) = 50 Euro (I considered only tva) With all this we arrive to 300 euro. Then there is to add Warranty that in Italy (and I think is Europe) that is mandatory for 2 years and the margin for the reseller. Pulster say that is able to sell FR at 299 Euro. I think they are magician! In every case I think is a good price.
