Posted	marine equipment overpriced
21-09-2006 13:26 by JOHANSWAN	why is it that in america marine equipment like skimmers.lights and live rock is more less than half off what we have to pay here and producing the stuff is only a fraction off the cost we pay who is the culprit that make the money the fabricator,middleman,shopowner or is it like 50%tax on the stuff will be cheaper to go to usa for holiday and buy your stuff there ,but why should we be overcharged expecailly when it cames to the price off lights

21-09-2006 18:09 by Ray	It is just typical UK overpricing,I want a dsb filter and am going to buy one in Canada next week at less than half the UK price.Pennie you can buy in europe cheaper than here and dont have to pay tax,outside the EU travellers have an allowance of £160.00 before vat is added and then it is only 17.5%.

21-09-2006 20:13 by pennie	i know you can
22-09-2006 12:01 by commissar	just make sure the power supply is the same or it wont work unless u get a transformer or get it rewired if its electrical also any warranties on a product sold abroad may not be valid in this country
22-09-2006 14:03 by JOHANSWAN	yes that is the only drawback is the voltage as you might have 110volt altough a lot off american products is made in germany so it might be 220 volt i try to make most stuff myself just made me a kalkwasserstirrer and saved 150quid but everybody arent so lucky going to attempt a cooler this afternoon as my temp is busy running away with this heat thought about a 6mm clear tube coiled through a box with a feedpump and fan behind it and see if i can get a temp drop
