Thank you for your reply robfwoods,

I do understand that there is some taxes as I often buy from US online shops shipping worldwide.

My calculation were as follow :
based on model 1050, we have a $499 + $55 shipping, that's $554, add 19,6% VAT and 10% duty taxes on that and you get around $730 which is still far from $969.

Of course it was based on a $55 shipping, not $250, that's a hell of a shipping cost !

Does the European price of 1095 euros includes shipping ?
