dvr-104- who will ship one to ireland?

[boss]

You might remember a few weeks ago i was asking about the a04/104.
I decided to get a 104 but i can't find a u.s. online retailer that will ship one to ireland!
Can anyone tell me the name of a good u.s. retailer that will ship one to my country? I can't use a british one over the bad exchange rate.

[boss]

Come on, someone must know a good us online retailer that will ship a pionneer dvr-104 to ireland!

why do you need one from US?Doesn't a European DVD-Writer also do?Here in Germany they go for around 400Euro.

[boss]

Because they are cheaper in the U.S., and i can't speak german!

[Dragonsf]

How much are they in US (inkl. transport/tax/customs)?
English is here in Germany not a real problem.Everytime you'll find someone who speaks and understands it.
But if the US price is so much lower, it's ok to buy them from overseas (what about warranty BTW)?

The price would'nt be that much lower i suppose, and the shipping would cost more from the u.s.
Do you know the name of a good online german retailer that sells it and has a good understanding of english?

Here is one online-shop:

I bought some stuff (VCR/DV camera) from them, they are reliable.You can switch to English.
search(Suchen) for pioneer, they sell it for 505 Euro (inkl VAT).
The price I quoted was from my local dealer, they don't sell it online.
I can get it in my town for about 400+16% vat=464Euro.
(That is of course the bulk version).If we somehow agree on way of payment, I could send this one to you (don't know about shipping costs).

man there's A LOT of cheap shops in UK :P

I live in The Netherlands but I get all my DVD-R shit in UK

and there's LOT MORE

noone can beat a 0.85 DVD-R like some shops sell in UK

DVD-R is like 10 EUR in France because half of the price is tax

SO DON'T COMPLAIN

[Dragonsf]

The price for this item Dvr 104 is indeed very low and consired it's bundling with media is a bargain.So where is the catch (if any)?

[R0N|N]

all these shops are very secure, there's no "catch" AFAIK

[boss]

Thanks for telling me about the site Dragonsf, i'll probably buy it from there unless i can find another european site where it is cheaper.Does anyone know of any european sites that sell the 104 for cheaper than €500?

ronin, the catch about uk shops is the sterling/euro exchange rate.
it is not that important for dvd-r's but for more expensive stuff it is.For example something that cost £120 british would cost €200 as the exchange rate is €1=60p british. Oh, where i live dvd-r's cost €12 and only 21% of that is tax!
