The price is higher in Great Britain cuz us Colonists are still pissed at the Brits for the Stamp Act. (just kidding) *wink* Just to clarify, prices in the US almost never include Sales Tax as each State, County and (sometimes) Cities impose different rates of Point of Purchase Sales Tax rates. It usually is around 5% to 8% total Sales Tax. The one advantage to our overly bloated and outrageously disorganized form of government here in the good old USA is that we consumers can quite often get around these sales taxes. If I order a SB sold from California and mailed to me in Ohio there is no sales tax charged by the seller. There are rules that sometimes force the seller to charge this sales tax, mail order or not, but I won't go into that here. Sadly, our over spending and wasteful State governments are catching on to this 50 year old "loop hole" and are closing in on such tax avoidance schemes. :( -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
