Are you sure share-it didn't change the currency?

Probably VAT (82.80 fits 20% of VAT).

No way around it, AFAIK.

Man, VAT sounds awful. 20%, really? Couldn't imagine. One of the best parts of internet shopping is the ability to circumvent the 6% sales tax of my state.

I am in germany here and for me the final price after adding 19% VAT and currency conversion was around 77 €.

$69 on the website are USD.
If you purchase from Canada in CAD, Australia in AUD or New Zealand in NZD, all of which are worth less than the USD, it's absolutely normal that a higher CAD/AUD/NZD price would be displayed instead of the USD price.

Of course there is. Who cares if you weren't in the EU by the time you bought your favorite plugin?

Credit Card security. You'll have a hard time purchasing through VPNs/anonymizers or otherwise pretending you're somewhere else. Those sales are often refused or subject to human reviews. Not sure about PayPal, but I think it's set to your home location no matter what?

Paypal indeed. No VPN/Proxy required : if the vendor needs the buyer's localization, then Paypal just asks for it with simple input boxes. As recently as the day before yesterday, I was still able to "enjoy" this trick

The other opinion: VAT is the fairest tax. The more expensive goods you can afford, the more tax you pay.

Let's hope we didn't open a political pandora's box on KVR, I have a feeling it usually doesn't end well

Yeah, it just got some tiny implementation flaws especially in germany... diapers are at 19% ("normal" tax rate), while any boobs mag is at only 7% reduced tax rate, because it's a "press product". A donkey is at 19%, while a hinny is at 7%. But hey, lobbying works good in germany as well

.
And now I need to write something that is actually related to the original thread??.. I don't care in this case, because I got Repro-1 for free... and I love it. Did some playing around in company with my Waldorf Pulse 2 and it's really hard (actually impossible for me) to tell, that Repro-1 isn't actually analogue hardware.

Repro one price problem?
