Trials unicycles from Uk

how can the onza be 150+ less????????
i mean, even 20 dollars less is a huge bargain, but something like 170!!
that's outrageous
maybe your calculations were off?
was the UK one in pounds not euros?

thought so,
i calculated that if it were in pounds, then the QU-ax at 175 pounds
would actually be 328 US Dollars, more than the UDC (US) price of 300

That must be I was confused also whn doin this, I thought for sure they
used euro, but if they use GBP then it would cost a lot more. the total
of the onza would be $412.5805, still a little cheaper but not worth the
wait at all.

You aren't even factoring in the import tax. They don't list that
anywhere. Coming from Minnesota to Nova Scotia, for my summit trials, I
paid my normal shipping then $110 CAD just for crossing the boarder,
which is what like a foot wide? So you multiply $110 by an
ocean...wow.

Yeah it was suprising, and I was ticked at first, but I had the money
and as my mom pointed out I learned a lesson. There was nothing I could
do about it anyway. I'm glad I bought it though, regardless of price.
Best purchase I ever made.

That's damn right! And it works both ways. If I order something from
the US to Europe (not uni stuff, at least not until now), I pay import
tax as well, about 20%.

And, did you factor in shipping cost? From the UK to US that is quite
hefty too.

And then we're not even considering shipping time, with all the
customs and safety delays. May take months, occasionally. Speaking
from experience here.

I say, old chap, fancy thinking the Great British Pound could ever be
replaced by one of those foreign "euro" chappies!

If that happened then the next thing you know is we'll be wearing patent
leather shoes with no socks and adopting other continental ways, such as
being cultured and stylish and producing decent association football
teams...errr.... think I'll finish now.

It is still a bit of a quirky place - we still use Guinneas (1Guinnea =
1l:1s:0d, i.e. one pound and 1 shilling, £1.05 in new money) for buying
and selling horses and prize money in horse races, bizzare. But those
horsey types always were more than just a bit odd, what with chasing
defenceless furry creatures around with a pack of slavering hounds, in
the best interest of the welfare of the wildlife, and fun !!!! At least
that barbarous practice is being halted.

Introduction of the mile to these shores in around AD49 was the Roman
attempt at decimalisation - mille = 1,000 and was measured as 1000
double paces. Why we mucked it up with rods, poles, perches, furlongs
(still used in horse racing), yards, feet and inches - who cares.

Perhaps the rest of Europe could adopt the pound sterling, English as
the continental language, roman decimal distance measures, driving on
the correct side of the road (Emperor Napoleon was the guilty party on
mainland Europe), pint measures of beer at a temperature at which you
can actually taste it ... hmmmmmm, real ale ... sorry, went off into a
bit of a reverie there.

Tongue out of cheek, I'm actually in favour of UK in the Euro project -
currency exchange within a trading block is counter-productive, costly
and only benefits the banking institutions doing the transactions, the
cost of which, plus interest, is passed on directly to you and me, Joe
Consumer. They don't have to like our beer and they can keep their
horseflesh and pickled baby songbirds. Vive la difference !
