RE: Roombas cheap on letsautomate

Pedro,

You are being completely unrealistic. Such equality in pricing would only b= e achieved if the manufactures sold direct to distributors in Europe. I don= 't think there is anything like the potential market here (remember the ukh= a_d group is hardly typical) and so it is just not worth their while.

It is simply not possible to get a Roomba into Europe legally without payin= g somewhere very close to $1 =3D =A31, I know this for a fact because I hav= e had some experience in importing things from the US. Also anyone commerci= al operation bringing things in will want to make some profit for themselve= s.

The only way you can buy one of these for the US price is to go there and d= o it yourself. Of course you will never get one that is officially supporte= d here.

It=B4s not a bad price, but in www.roomba.de the price is 324.95 plus 31.10= (p&p) total : 356.05 eur. The problem is roomba.de doesn=B4t sell Room= ba Rapid Charger ( it=B4s interesting because one need 12 hours to recharge= and 4 hour to discharge).

But I would like to find an authorized dealer of Roomba with american price= s in Europe US$ 200 =3D less than eur 200.  ( 1 $  near 1 eur ).<= BR>

Pedro,

I don't think you are going to get a better price anywhere atm...

251 (including delivery @ 41 gbp UPS Express) is approx 383 Euro

      http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic

is a good currancy conversion site... btw you're lucky, I'm closer but deli= very costs me more!
