The Exchange rate $->£ is so good even with VAT I will save around 50%!!! assuming no import taxes...


Yeah, but the other way :boohoo:

I just bought some aminet disks (sets 6&11 and 15) off a guy in Germany for EUR 5,01 and he wants EUR 35 for shipping, which he said was the cheapest amount. That works out to $65.00 Canadian for everything.  For that kind of money I could go to MacDonalds about 15 times ordering my favourite combo special. :-?

I guess I have to cough up the cash because it's a contract, but I'm not too happy about it.
