but yeah major electronics, even places like newegg/ebuyer etc.. theres normally around only 3% markup on computer hardware, hence you have to aim BIG with computer hardware or just be awesome customer service so that they dont mind paying a few $/£/€ here and there for piece of mind =)
On Tweakers we had a discussion related to this around 10 september and I was playing around with some numbers a bit back then.

4890 newegg was 195 USD, NL 180 euro = 92.3%
4870 newegg was 150 USD, NL 135 euro = 90%
4850 newegg was 100 USD, NL 90 euro = 90%
==========================
90%
HD5850 1GB $299 => €269,10
HD5870 1GB $349 => €314,10
HD5870 2GB $399 => €359,10
==========================
92.3%
HD5850 1GB $299 => €275,97
HD5870 1GB $349 => €322,13 (319,99 @ Salland) ----> This is what I expect for the US ($349)
HD5870 2GB $399 => €368,28
==========================
95%
HD5850 1GB $299 => €284,05
HD5870 1GB $349 => €331,55
HD5870 2GB $399 => €379,05

Gotta love speculating .
