[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 991529, member: 56379"] We have a bunch of members here on Mac-Forums from the UK...and it's pretty common knowledge that both new & used computers are more expensive in the UK. So converting US dollars to British pounds..and then saying that Apple products cost more in the UK than in the US is not new news to anyone! It's too bad that this is the case...but maybe due to: - volume of products sold in the UK (compared to the US) - more expensive shipping from China - additional taxes or higher taxes in the UK - VAT taxes in the UK - supply & demand Also..in your post the term "may not" was used...which means you're relying on rumors for information. How about waiting until facts are available before getting too excited.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
