Thats not by customs, thats just VAT collectable by the retailer, same as you'd pay over here. There isn't any customs between Germany and the UK.

its still customs and excises that stop the parcel and charge you 20% vat+ delivery from there where house to where you live  and that's normaly £20 + vat lol

if I pay £100 it will cost me £20 vat £20 postage + vat and £5.97 handling fee    so it would cost me £55.97 if fees on a £100 parcel and that's not including the original postage lol

If you payed VAT in Germany you don't pay it in UK it's simple as that, so no double taxation. Agreement is here http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/taxtreaties/in-force/germany.pdf

I really would love to know how much the resellers are marking up the erupters. Freidcat how much are you selling them for?Huh

They are selling them for -50% markup - because Friedcat is SCREWING resellers by dropping the price to the point of erasing not only all profit margins, but dropping them below distributor cost every week. He is not even providing enough time for resellers to get rid of inventory before he drops it again and again... Don't buy these for resale - it is a trap.

He is not even providing enough time for resellers to get rid of inventory before he drops it again and again... Don't buy these for resale - it is a trap.

He's done this time and time again.  I'm still disappointed when he dropped the price from BTC1.99  in half  (less than 2 weeks) after he delivered my batch of 100 for BTC199 in June.  

Without any recourse for price changes it is frustrating to say the least, there's no warning whatsoever, not even a heads up.  

Fortunately, we had scaled down the initial buy (plan was to buy 1000 erupters from friedcat  at less than BTC1.99 per erupter), so it could've been worse.  Losing over 12K in two weeks is not fun, but at least it wasn't 120K, our investors would go after us like  BFL/Yifu.

Resellers should just be careful and prepare for anything.

Friedcat, if you read this, take note. If I visit a new web site to buy something and they don't list prices, I don't buy from that site and I never visit it again because they're obviously trying to rip me off. Why else would they not list the price, making me jump through hoops instead?

Received my first Block Erupter and I am really impressed, thanks Friedcat!

It's amazingly small and super easy to setup compared to any GPU.

I bet these will be collectors items 20 years from now!

I'm setting mine to solo-mine and hopping I'll win the lotto some day:)

Collectors items..... Bwahahahahaha.  More likely showcased in the investors hall of shame.

I do not suffer fools gladly... "Captain!  We're surrounded!"
I embrace my inner Kool-Aid.
