Bloody hell that could work out very nice indeed.....
They arent charging to be listed on it so it should be as close to a definitive list of prices as you can get. Wonder if they will include filters for international shipping etc...

Yeah but who ships internationally???? Most electronics goods aren't shipping internationally because of pricing structures between the US and Europe. Therefore you're likely to pay an extra 20-30% on the same goods that can bought in the US for a resonable price.

Amazon.com is one example, you can get books sent over here but try to order any electronics and you'll get this page isn't you it's not it's policy to do so. Shame really. I like how the € is equal to the $ as well.

You'll find that tactics most prominent in authorized dealerships, and if you can find somewhere that does ship internationally, they usually have limited shipping options, for instance I've recently been looking for a pair of headphones, some sites were quoting $75 2-day air delivery via UPS (for a $100 item?), completly ridiculous... ended up finding somewhere for $32, and that was the cheapest.. still cheaper than from the uk though

I was checking this service out and thought i look brilliant, so i mailed em with some question about future international functionality.

Thanks for taking the time to email us. We always enjoy hearing

I have just bee trying out the Froogle Beta and find
the functionality very good and highly useful . Is there
any chance that Froogle will be able to cover European
stores in the near future? Or and option where you can
filter which stores ship internationally?

Again thx for Froogle.

Dotsie.
