Media mart has bought a huge batch of toshiba E 310 machines and is selling them for 349€.
This is by far the lowest price for a PPC device in Europe ever and for once is even a lot lower then the price the machines sell for in the US.
Oh and that price of course includes the VAT.

Have fun peeps.

Close, but not quite.

349 Euros = $356 US

Amazon.com sells them here for $299

Of course, I don't know what the VAT is, so maybe it is.

VAT over here is 21%.

OUCH! and I was upset when they voted to up our sales tax to 7.5% in Florida.

We are more than happy for you to come here and visit. Tourism is a big chunk of Floridas economy.

And even if they did the shipping would be expensive, there is the obligotary 21% tax over here and they charge an import duty, so the 299$ Toshiba would end up costing close to 500$.
