Community update: Regarding Neo FreeRunner pre-orders

It's a little more complicated than that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_added_tax#European_Union

"Businesses can be required to register for VAT in EU member states,
other than the one in which they are based, if they supply goods via
mail order to those states, over a certain threshold."

Amazon.co.uk, will charge me 25% Danish VAT, but momandpop.de
charges me 21% German VAT, as they don't ship much to Denmark (they
don't need to register in denmark, as they are small).

I can't remember what "a certain threshold" is, but I think it's
around 30.000€...
