Bergger COT 320 Price...!

I'm quite puzzled by the price difference between France and the US for the COT 320. Even the Euro/Dollar rate doesn't justify that gap.

16x20 (25) : $110 / 42 Euros

8x10 (25) : $30 / 8x10 (50 !) : 21 Euros

20x24 : $ 164.50 / 63 Euros

So why that ? Is the shipping that long and expensive... ?

Usually it's the other way round, European users (and everyone else) paying way more than you guys!

See for example the price differences on software products from the maker of the most popular d*g*t*l editing tool...
