Re: [slim] cost - slimdevices/logitech

Stu,
The prices always seem to vary a little. The £219 from Logitech is a
little steep though.
You could also try Broadbandstuff or Multitask Computing - may get a
deal for two - worth a try.
All uk stock should now be Logitech branded as there's been a 6 week
delay for the new stuff to arrive. A call to confirm branding would put
your fears to rest.
Norm.

I can recommend the service from _'Ecodigital'

(I have no connection to Ecodigital)

£219 might be the list price? which is common for the manufacturer to
list. Amazon etc. will be selling it at cost+markup.

As far as the branding is concerned, you will probably get a Logitec
unit as Amazon were OOS for a long time so i doubt they have any of the
old runs left. They probably won't update the picture any time soon
though.

FYI I just received my two Squeezeboxes from Ebuyer. £190 each incl free
postage.

They had the new logitech branding, which didnt show up on their
website. Would have preferred the old slim devices logo though...

The Logitech prices you are listing are MSRP and are inc. VAT.  We
don't generally move prices with currency fluctuations, so the weak US
dollar versus strong EU$ & British Pound has a major impact as well.

Resellers set their own selling price, which is why you've seen it for
less than our suggested retail price.

That's not so bad. Often stuff that comes over here from the States ends up
being charged the same price in UK pounds as it is in dollars...

Everything except perhaps Dyson vacuums and Miele laundry machines are
more expensive in the UK and Europe.

My Transporter (bought in the UK) was pretty much the same price as a
US one at the exchange rate of the day.
