Stan,
The Farnell prices don't include the 20% VAT. We get used to 1:1 £/$
exchange rates but Farnell often seem to charge >= double the Newark
prices. Unfortunately ordering from Newark doesn't always help because
you then get hit with expensive shipping costs and the outrageous, and
seemingly random, customs handling fees by the courier.

Tony,
I'm a US citizen, but I do know that the UK has a 20% VAT on each level of
manufacture and/or distribution. That can add up quickly in the end
purchase price.
Or am I missing something here?
No VAT in the US....not yet anyway;-)

Apologies - my mistake - I wasn't paying sufficient attention when Google
decided that this was a perfect match when searching for 300SP-1-502:

But £180.27 each whereas Newark, the US arm of Farnell only want $120 or
approx £80 for the same part! Are there really that many Brits who put up
with being ripped-off to these levels?
