That's rather expensive. I've just ordered one from Novatech (in Portsmouth,
Hampshire) and they reckon they're going to be getting them in within the
next few days.

They are selling for 387.00 inv.VAT which works out around 325.00+VAT

I guess this means that Dixons Tax Free at Heathrow (which I presume
cannot sell tax free anymore) will still be doing the 5MX at 365 ukp
(price yesterday 30/6/99) as this was really the price with tax added
anyway !

Out of interest, has anyone got this lot to uphold their price guarantee
plastered on their web site ? Every time I ask by email they don't
bother to reply.

Also, why is 48MB of compact flash still 74.99+VAT when DRAM is at an
all time low, 128MB of PC100 DIMM is only 59*INC* VAT.

Doesnt VAT only apply to residents of the UK? I would have thought a
person from Australia wouldnt have to pay VAT.

Also DABS doesnt send gear to places outside europe.

I'm going to play dim - what has the price of DRAM got to do with that of
Compact Flash?

This is good. Lets start a 5mx price war.
Any of these folk offer interest free credit too?

Personally I think that quoting prices without VAT on this group is sharp
practice - if you want to quote the net (without VAT) price, the gross (with
VAT) price should always be given too. The only justification for giving a
net price only is that the goods are being sold only to companies (who can
claim back the VAT) or only to outside the EU (where VAT is zero rated). I
don't believe these conditions apply to the sellers quoting these prices.
Indeed I would guess that most of their sales are EU retail.

Not a lot, I would have thought. Far and away the overriding factor in
the price of CF coming down is the increasing economy of scale, now
digital cameras and PDAs are getting more popular.

Of course they can. There are hundreds of countries that have not yet
had the misfortune to be manacled to the EU/EC/EEC.

This must be the first time that Dixons have sold something at a price
worth buying !! Mind you give it a few months and you'll probably find
that their NEW Psions are really customer returns / repaired units.

  Not only that - but Dixons are still selling at the non-VAT price at
Heathrow, even to people travelling with the EU (even within the UK).
They have to charge VAT but then apply an "Airport Discount" bringing the
trotal price back to what it was without VAT.

Bottom line:   �365.95 including VAT.
