Comment on Ask HN: Why is Apple ripping of European users? 1€ ≠ 1$parent

hehe, except that Greece might not be under those obligations for long...

In general though I agree, (from the UK) I'm happy to buy stuff from EU places; I got my Das Keyboard and a Samsung phone (Galaxy Note, useless, sold on ebay) from Germany because it was cheaper (actually, it's also seemingly impossible to buy the Das anywhere in the UK.)

I also happily buy from the US and Canada though, as they make the funniest T-shirts, and the price ends up similar to custom printed in the UK even after import tax (not the £1.50 tax on a $20 t-shirt, but the £8 royal mail stick on any parcel with tax to pay), because of the exchange rate.
