I'm pretty sure that OM grants the resellers a rebate that's a 2 digit percentage over the 10-pack rebate.<br>So let's see what the resellers can do.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 10:57 AM, Michele Renda <<a href="mailto:michele.renda@gmail.com">michele.renda@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

<br>
I am a OMmer but I can help you because I studied a bit the cost to sell<br>
the OM in Europe.<br>
<br>
399 $ is the price of FR in US.<br>
<br>
We can image that EU reseller can buy FR in 10 pack, so 369 $ for unit<br>
(I don't know how much tehy pay, It is a supposition done to help calc)<br>
<br>
369 $ => 240 Euro<br>
<br>
To this ammount you must to add expedition from US to EU: 160 $ / 10 =<br>
16$ => 10 Euro<br>
<br>
To this ammount you must add Environmental tax + Dougane ( that replace<br>
TVA - 20%?) = 50 Euro (I considered only tva)<br>
<br>
With all this we arrive to 300 euro.<br>
<br>
Then there is to add Warranty that in Italy (and I think is Europe) that<br>
is mandatory for 2 years and the margin for the reseller.<br>
<br>
Pulster say that is able to sell FR at 299 Euro. I think they are magician!<br>
<br>
In every case I think is a good price.<br>
