Hey there guys. I have been reading the forums often and I seen many fellow Americans buying Mach I and Mach II from U.S. resellers spending anywhere from $500~1250. I was about to become one of these people when I was considering a Mach II but I found a better solution. I was browsing the Nventiv (chip-con) reseller list and decided to take a look at some U.K resellers just to see how their prices are. I was very amazed with what I saw. In the U.K. a Mach II goes out for 450 euros which is about $531 USD. I was about to buy a Mach II from US for twice that price. The good part is some of those resellers offer shipping to US for a small price of only 50 euros. Those of you who are thinking from buying from U.S. please think twice. I know many people are aware of this but their are others who are not. Trust me its worth the extra 10-20 days wait!

Since your from the USA do you have to pay VAT ? Im not exactly what it is but I believe its some sort of tax. Total from chillblast for me was 450 + 25 pounds which is about $800. About $100 cheaper than US retailers. Good find. :toast: :toast:

That is seriously freaky.

Price difference is the other way around.

Yeah I am planning on becomming a reseller. However I can't do it on my own. If I get everyone to pre order and prepay i would be more then glad to do it =)

At first I thought that was pounds (i never dealt with foreign currency before) and I got so excited but after doing some research at xe.com I calmed down a bit. However there is still some discount Its about $900 shipped versus the $1050 + shipping usd. However kittronics is the best way to go! Mach I w/ case & cpu kit for $580 shipped which beats xtremetekwerkz deal for $675 shipped.
