Andromeda18_ Wrote:$500 is how much I was expecting it to cost and I seriously hope it doesn't go over that. But that whole 500?/$500 bugs me anyway. And Cidien, at least where my country's concerned importing it isn't a solution. I would most definitely have to pay for customs and it would be a lot. Do you know what people say about the IRS in the US? Well, customs here is just as bad. I hear people from other European countries say they get pricey orders without having to pay any taxes but here I'll have to pay if what I ordered costed more than $22. They used to let small packages (regardless of price) slide but they're not doing that anymore.
It's like that in the UK. Sometimes I get away with it but sometimes I don't. What pissed me off was a boxset I ordered from Amazon USA and it came with a missing disc so I had to pay the tax on that then they sent a replacement that I had to pay tax on again even though I didn't buy it! I think certain well known shops always end up with you being taxed... Amazon always. I've never been taxed on HK's though I don't think... A console would be really expensive. As for the Euro=Dollar thing we get the sometimes in the UK... It's worse though for the Pound. Manga is nearlly always more than the dollar price so like one manga would be like $7 and it would end up like £10 or some crap...
