you can say that about anything though Terry, I've just ordered a new car which costs exactly the same in the US as it does here but just in Dollars rather than pounds. i could buy it over there but would then need to pay the duty and shipping charges which makes it fooking expensive to buy here. just the way it is i guess.
The guy on ebay bought a few sets at about £45 each, add postage and duty to that order, he then sells them on ebay and Raleighburner.com at £65/£70 a set i bet he wasn't really making much on them after paypal and ebay rape him.
