There have also been pretty major price increase for 2009 on Mesa/Boogies this year in the UK market. You can use google cache to compare, but for example, Andertons price on a Roadster head has gone from £1999 -> £2199. Thats a 10% increase.

Well the Dollar has strengthened considerably versus the Pound. I was in London last April when a Pound cost about $1.95. Now it's like $1.45.

Yikes! ...and Thomann is know for great prices!!! Hate to think what we will be slugged for one over here in Sweden... Svensk Musik is the distributor but still no prices there that I can see so I am waiting for the new catalogue... anyone here know a swedish price!?!

Probably still be cheaper to get one shipped over from Thomann or to get a boat to Finland and pick one up at Levytukku... :shock:

Doesn't really work like that

and how it works? tc electronic is an european company and their prices for europe are higher than prices for US.. :idea: I think that something is going wrong and not my math :lol:
but maybe shipping from china/taiwan/korea to US is cheaper than shipping to europe :mrgreen:

Did you deliberately ignored the rest of my comment, or did you just miss it?

TC Electronics EU prices aren't higher than the USA prices for us europeans. Read my comment again and read the the whole.

there is another thread on this same topic that might add more light here

UK price went up too :/
Now it's 2790 €
But, as far as I can tell there's some difference in price depending on the shipping country :/
