$70 in the US, 90€ ($105) in Europe :3 https://www.xteink.com/products/xteink-x3

I guess West Coast shipping from China is much cheaper

Hmm, at the end of July I bought a X4 Pro from them for 88.95 EUR (shipping to Spain included), seems they've raised prices since then? Lucky me I suppose.

There is no way shipping alone explains the difference.

I would suspect the majority comes from higher (VAT) tax level; possibly also some indirect overhead because Europe is a more segmented market, and needs a bunch of localization at the very least.

£70 ($94) in the UK so is US prices exclude sales taxes $14 is VAT, what about the other $10?

GP says its $105 in the EU. I do not think VAT is high enough to explain that anywhere in the EU?

		> GP says its $105 in the EU It's not? Maybe there is some dynamic pricing going on, but it's 79 Euro (~91.75 USD). Which would be close to the US price with Hungary's VAT (27%, which is I think the highest). Then add stuff like copying levy onto it and you'll land on roughly the same price. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy Maybe they compared the model with the base to the one without? The one with base is more expensive in the US too though.
