i suspect they think they can charge what they like because of the limited
market but that fails to value british customers as you say richard!

Subject: [access-uk] THE OLD CHESTNUT OF FREEDOM'S US AND UK PRICES
Hi, I've been looking at upgrading to OpenBook 9 and getting the Pearl
camera.
It seems that if you live in the US you can currently get the camera for $600
or about £400 whereas it's £600 in the UK.
I understand all the stuff about exchange rates, shipping (which incidentally
is free for online orders in the US) and of course we don't know what price
Freedom charges its UK distributors.
Having said all that, it seems mighty unfair to have such a blatant
discrepancy. Does anyone have any idea why the prices should be so different?
It would also be interesting to know whether the UK prices of Freedom
products is recommended by Freedom or fixed by the UK resellers. It's strange
that there seems to be so little competition in the market. Is there any
agreement between distributors as to pricing?
I'd welcome observations and particularly comments from distributors.
