I am surprised no-one has picked up on one item in Jeff's
mail.
He talks about $26K for a kit. I assume that is stages 1,
2 & 3 with no firewall forward. The price here in England
is 20,795 GBP and I expect VAT is to be added making it
24,434. (mono)
.
Even without VAT the 20,795 GBP becomes around $35k or
$36k. Yet kits sold in the US have been shipped across the
Atlantic.
So Jeff paid $10k less than a Brit would have even without
adding VAT which would be another $5k.
So were they being sold at a loss in the US (I wonder what
the current quoted US price is) or are we in England being
overcharged ?
I could rant more but it is time to go out :-)

I suspect that the US prices were K.W'isms
