I R Happy, let´s see if shipping doesn´t rape us, cause with Thomann it´s free over 300 euro

To France too. But it's more expensive than thomann...

And you have to add VAT and custom taxes.

Previously, any price you saw in US dollars, you just changed the currency sign to euro, and there was the final (Finnish) price after shipping, taxes and toll I wonder if it still applies... I guess so, since the conversion rate is still about the same (1 EUR = 1.4 USD or so), like earlier.

Jet City Amplification 100H. 739€ at Thomann, 572.86€ at Guitar Center. Thomann price without tax is 739 / 1.23 = 600.81€, which is more expensive than Guitar Center. But because of the Duty when you go to Check out you get this:

Item Subtotal: 572.86€
Shipping: FREE
Duty & VAT: 182.67€
Order Total: 755.53€

So it seems Thomann is still SLIGHTLY cheaper, but you can get different stuff there (like Heil microphones) AND Guitar Center does have this "Guaranteed lowest price" thing
