Author Topic: Reels as tables!! Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 07-16-2008 07:15 PM                        $100 us is 50 British Pounds at the moment. Add freight and VAT. We sell many, many Goldberg reels overseas.

Really? How do I get in on that racket? HE's got to be getting them from that high priced $1800.00 "Digital Lamp" guy . Also, I thought yous guys in the YouKaaa were on the Euro... In that case its still pretty bad at 1 U.S.A. dollar being .632871337 Euros. Heck just move to the U.S. and the you are not in such a bad position.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-16-2008 08:48 PM                     Psssst....Mark...the UK didn't adopt the Euro...(trading at about $1.59 to the Euro)....No the UK kept the pound....trading pretty near $2.00 to the Pound. So it makes the $600 price even MORE outlandish!

Those Goldberg reels in the UK should be costing about 150.00 pounds (assuming direct exchange rates). By charging us the same in pounds as you pay in dollars, we are effectively being charged twice as much! Just for interest, if you needed to replace some of your gear over there, what would you guys consider a reasonable price (in US dollars) to be paying for say: Goldberg 24" floating hubs Goldberg 26" floating hubs I think I may soon be getting into the import business!  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 07-17-2008 10:55 AM                     A quick search at here shows they're selling a 24" variety for $288 and a 26" one for $328; all plus shipping of course. I think I remember someone saying they'd ship oversees just you'd have to call them for the order rather than online; not sure though.  |  IP: Logged
