Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter Love it!
If I understand what your asking/saying the laptops/desktops do ship from the United States so they will be taxed on delivery. There is no markup on them. In fact there are costs right now we're not taking into consideration. The cables, keyboards, etc can add $80-90 USD to the cost. It's not taken into consideration right now. That might change as we might be losing money on them unless your purchasing other items / upgrades alongside. The main concern I have is ensuring hardware is readily available and properly supported under free software operating systems. I also try and price stuff is its affordable to people on a budget, but there are limits. For a basic configuration of any of the laptops/desktops there isn't much of a markup. That's intentional so those who don't have a ton of cash will hopefully be able to afford something still. I don't want to see people purchasing hardware that's hostile to who contaminated with DRM, proprietary software licenses, or not properly supported, etc

Oh, OK. Maybe, just maybe, it'd be a little bit better if you wrote what the price is without tax and mark it as being what the price it without tax:)

OK, because your stuff doesn't come with the end user paperwork for WEEE I hadn't realised we were still paying the taxes for it and the other EU / member state levies and regulations.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter Love it!
What a strange reply. We don't suggest proprietary software here, please don't do it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter Love it!
I can confirm, I have three of these things and they are amazing.

Where are you reading $44? I'm reading $24.97: https://mediacru.sh/XHRkfMW0wYXG
Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter Love it!
if it cost $44 dollars, and they give 25% ($11) to trisquel, isn't better to buy one for 5$ and donate $39 to trisquel? just asking.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter Love it!
25% of the profit - definitely less than $11.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter Love it!
you're right, even better :-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter Love it!
It is also good to support people like Chris Bob that help us to have places to actually run our free software in freedom.

Here's what it looks like from here:
Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter Love it!
The prices are not that different. They're just being shown differently. Taxes in the US are lower and the taxes are collected differently. In the US the taxes are collected at the end of the purchasing process whereas in Europe they are included in the price shown of the product. As an example: A US receipt: $50 USD WIFI ADAPTER $10 USD Tax --- Total price: $60 USD European receipt: $60 USD WIFI ADAPTER Total price: $60 USD There is some adjustment to compensate for our cost differences as well. The shipping was cut in half for example (roughly). In any event you're also not taking into consideration all the 'free' services your getting from the higher prices. In the US people who go to college have to pay back student loans and health care isn't covered by the government. Many people have to pay thousands of dollars every month for health insurance, student loans, cars, car insurance, and other similar expenses. Cars in the United States are not a luxury in most places. They are essential as there is no public transportation.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter Love it!
In the page there isn't the price, is that a new way to make e-commerce?
