Please understand that in the EU prices usually have 20-25% Sales Tax (The US price has 0% sales tax).

Also please realize that there is EU duty. And also realize that units are very specially manufactured 230V units - with CE approval - and RDS tuners.

And the units are IN STOCK in Finland, Sweden and Norway. The US price does NOT include transportation (minimum is $65 for US residents for 110V units - delivery charges to Europe are about $250.)

All that means that 'Euro' prices are quite 'in line.' Please do the calculation adding 25% sales tax, 10% duty and MUCHO (beaucoup) transport charges - and you'll see that Euro prices are indeed a 'bargain' - also please realize the 230V/CE-approval/RDS aspect.
