Hello All,
Looking at parts and stuff, however I am not sure what the conversion would be, is this the symbol for GBP, Euro or what?
£
Thanks, |

Pounds Sterling (Great Britain). Do a search for currency conversion roughly about $1.50 to GBP |

Thanks,
now that I know that £ is = to GBP I can figure out how much that stuff is on the other side of the pond.

FYI, they pay this HUGE tax over there on goods they purchase (something like 17% I believe) sometimes I have seen listed prices that include this but you don't have to pay it if you are buying from out of the country (just like being exempt from sales tax here when you do out of state mail order business) so make sure you ask if their prices include tax or not. |

The tax is called VAT (value added tax), and you are right that we don't pay it. I've found that I generally save 50-66% on parts by ordering from the UK. Even when shipping is taken into account.

I've discovered that as well. Shipping isn't near as expensive as you would think either. |
