    SP pricing

    Why is a MK17/A700 price protected at 759.00 in the USA but I can purchase the same item from Europe, and shipped for free from an authorized dealer in Europe, for $595.00. And yes they are both in USA dollars. Why do you feel the need to stick it to Americans?

    Because we have Freedom here in the US as opposed to those Government regulating socialist in Europe.

    On a slightly more serious note, probably for the same reason that you can buy your prescription drugs in Canada for pennies on the dollar when compared to cost in the US.

    Trust me that pisses me off too, but I can only fight so many battles at one time.

    Check the warranty status. I'm fairly certain you'll need to send it back to Europe for warranty repair.

    I'm fairly certain I won't. You talk like a scubapro dealer. And it was in the appropriate forum why did you move it?

    Actually all my regs are Atomic...like them better.

    And if that's supposed to be insulting, it's not. I'm not in the industry - except for volunteering here.

    And it was in the appropriate forum why did you move it?
    What part of this wasn't clear?

    I wasn't trying to insult you only telling you as I saw it, if you took it as an insult that is your issue. Again, why did you move my thread it was in the appropiate forum.
