Rip off Europe

BigEejit

Just looking at Crucial Radeon 9800 pro 128MB...

On the Crucial website in the USA its €275.63
On the Crucial website in the U.K its €327.39
On Komplett.ie its €404.29

Thats really shitty charging €uropeans more just because ........... fuckers ...

Pisses me off every time I see that we are being taken for a ride for electronic components (ANYTHING with a transistor in it costs more in €urope)

i agree,

Ireland is crap.....

Like you can buy DVD's in the USD for $10 USD. but in Ireland they are €30-€40 and you can get them shipped for free aswell.

But it's not just dvd's and hardware, everything in Ireland is more expencive then the US/Europe,

Thats why more and more people are shopping online. and not buyig from Irish Shops. they are chargeing to much,

Theres a sapphire 9800pro for €220 on www.jes-computer.de ................... atleast its a healp.

But i do hate being charged more because of where we live........... dreadfull.

uk - 17.5%
ie - 21%
