New Roboteq

[m2xt]

I have decided to have a clear out and have a new / unused Roboteq for sell on Ebay. See http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0361954658

Re: New Roboteq

These retail at over £470

make that 305 gbp.

Re: New Roboteq

According to Roboteq their sole European distributor is Active Robots and they list the price as £471.29 see http://www.active-robots.com/products/m ... oteq.shtml so how is that a bit off?

Re: New Roboteq

Ohw, I went to their own site and just looked up the price for that version, and once converted that came down to 303 gbp. And they do ship to europe, for a very reasonable price

I wasn't knocking the price of the unit you have for sale, on the contrary, it's VERY reasonable (cheap even!) and I'm following the ebay auction !

Re: New Roboteq

Now I'm confused, what exchange rate are you using because there shouldn't be that much difference.

Re: New Roboteq

roboteq.com states 495 us dollar

according to XE.com that's 302 gbp (midmarket rates)

Live rates at 2009.07.22 10:17:54 UTC
495.00 USD = 302.034 GBP
United States Dollars United Kingdom Pounds
1 USD = 0.610169 GBP 1 GBP = 1.63889 USD

Re: New Roboteq

I didn't realise you were comparing the US pricing, you also need to add carriage, import duty and VAT. Also, us importers have been suffering exchange rates as low as 1.39$/£ recently so it depends on when stocks were purchased. To import for the US I would guess at $90 shipping, based on PayPal giving 1.605 $/£ yesterday gives £364.48 x 1.05 duty x 1.15 VAT gives £440.11. So less than Active agreed.
