You're right they're very cheap, anyway if I add shipping to Italy it's roughly 30% on top of the list price then if I add duty & other local taxes I get almost the same price I get at local shops. It's a big deal from our friends on the other side of the pond...
Ciao

Fabio is right. Even though the prices look very interesting, it's only cheap if you're living in the same country the company is in. Once you start adding postage/shipping, customs duties, and taxes, the prices become on a par with the cheapest local prices. I found the same thing with buying on e-Bay.
