If my memory serves me right their pricing is consistent at Dayton, HIGH.  And

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products

Another endorsement for N3ZN paddles.  I own a ZN9 and very pleased with it. 
I had a Begali Graciella, too, and sold it when I downsized by station about
6 years ago.  kept the N3ZB paddle.  Both are outstanding, but, IMO, the ZN
is better bang for the buck (or Euro).

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products

[Anthony Scandurra]

That is incorrect.  The purchase price is directly affected by the exchange
rate.  They even provide a link to xe.com on their website so you can
figure out the actual cost in $USD.  Be aware that there is still an
exchange rate fee charged by your bank when you make the transaction, so
the final cost will still be higher than the price calculated in xe.com.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products

[Phil Wheeler]

On line prices are in Euros, so a more favorable 
exchange rate will reduce the price in $US -- if 
ordered on line.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products

[Jim Hoge]

Regarding Begali's prices at Dayton, they are directly related to the exchange 
rate. Also, you are not paying for shipping. 

As for exchange fees, Paypal does a good job of making you dig for the 
information but you can determine the fee prior to making a transaction. To do 
so, follow these instructions: log in to your account, click on profile, click 
on my money, click on currency, enter the required information, then click on 
calculate.
The last time I made a payment in Euros, I think Paypal added about 2.5 points 
to the exchange rate. Even with that, the cost of dollars to Euros is still at 
bargain levels compared to what it has been.I don't need any more keys but I 
must satisfy the K3's lust for a new one now and again so I, er, my K3 is 
sorely tempted to purchase another one given the current exchange rate.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

I think there's a matter of semantics here.

I believe the comment that "the exchange rate will not affect Dayton prices" 
can be interpreted as Begali will NOT purposely raise their prices BECAUSE 
of the exchange rate.


As the dollar gets stronger, it means their prices will yield the same in 
Euro as before, except that it will take fewer dollars to buy them.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products

[Barry]

Most Capital One credit cards do not charge a foreign transaction fee (most
CCs 2-3%).  If Begali accepts credit cards directly, you might want to look
into one of those.
