Fw: Re: Cheap source of 230v 50hz X10 Micromodules

["egelbeertje" <r_d_k@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it finally arrived,

Got a mail 4 days ago to say it was shipped by Airmail (apparently
they had some inventory problem) but it's here now, it's looking good
and except for the color of the module it'looks a copy (or the
original :-) of the Marmitek TMD4.
They did put a 15$ value as merchandise on the envelope but no
customs duty paid - End total $43.95 incl shipping - or about 1/3 of
the local price.
Good service. Will shop there again soon ....I'm afraid for the
budget now.

rgds Rob.

PS : this is extreme : I saw a LM12 lamp module last week in a shop
here in Belgium, they charged over $107 for it - I couldnt' believe
it - so I'm not going to promote that shop here :-)
