drb 0 #1 June 13, 2001 Hey-I'm curious as to whether it's significantly cheaper to buy a Cypres in Germany (as opposed to the States)...? Are there import taxes or anything of that sort that might drive the cost up? International shipping must add something. If I did endeavor to get a Cypres in Germany, does anyone know if I can go directly to SSK? Somehow I doubt they have a factory outlet, but would they sell to me direct?I just moved to Ireland, and I'm planning on touring Europe at some point. I'd like an AAD, but I'm willing to wait until I'm in Germany if it will save some money. Thanks!--Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewGuy 0 #2 June 13, 2001 Being a non EU citizen, we don't have to pay the Mehrwehrtssteuer (tax) - we can get it refunded at the airport (just make sure you don't pack it in your luggage... they have to see it.But I'm not sure about the EU citizens/residents - what the situation is with tax. My guess would be that it should make a good difference in price - just a guess.Cheers,NewGuy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #3 June 13, 2001 Wow...I'll just stick with the Federal, State, Local, School, Property, SSI, Unemployment, Sales, Gasoline, Cigarette, and Liquor taxes. Don't give me any of that Mehrwehrtssteuer tax. I at least want to be able to pronounce it when I curse it. Geez, never realized how many different taxes I pay...probably missing some too :[ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here in Canada, we pay those taxes and a whole lot more! In BC, once your done with provinical and federal sales tax, you can add 14% onto your bill! "Low Income, Lower Dollar, and Higher Taxes" should be our national slogan. But hey, we have great beer! (uhm... actually it's not that great... or good... oh well, I'll stop while I'm ahead).Cheers,NewGuy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But don't forget - we've got snow man, and lots of it... in the winter! So stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
