Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Much cheaper if you just get from the middlemen instead. I have one for Sgd1400 excluding shipping if anyone is interested

I thought he was saying it's funny there was a small price drop in Europe since there were talks to improve things. Not trying to justify the price difference for XM....
Maybe... Only GrumpyBear and his adorable avatar know it.

Much Cheaper...don't forget we have to pay custom fees +taxes.. so yes it will be a little bit cheaper but not very much sorry...

Just check this 1400 SGD lets assume it can be 350 SGD for shipping . 1750 SGD / 1090 EUR just add 40 EUR custom fees so we are at 1130 EUR and finally add 21 % taxes (knowing it is calculated on the whole price shipping included) so in this case 230 EUR and you got the wonderful price of 1360 EUR ... we are near 1400 EUR guys

But with middle men you can put lower amount on the package.
It's risky but it avoids huge customs taxes.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Unfortunately, it seems you are right. 1 SGD becomes 1€ in Europe. For example, Magdalena: 1100 SGD --- 1100 €.
Now, I think of buying and collecting SGDs.
Maybe I could create a thread for this new passion?

It has some length to it, it is just swept up.

That's a risk you can take but you can't compare prices based on that argument

Or just XM can have a true warehouse in Europe like F4F...and then no more price debate
