I've seen television news shows decrying the shopkeeper's practices. remember, though, that price includes the VAT. In the US, One can get a new R8 for USD1695 net of the $200 Leica Rebate. buy on a Dealers Leica day and you can get an additional 10% off the list price (1,895-189.50 -200rebate, net $1505.50) at an exchange rate of 1.447USD to 1GBP, that's about 1,40.43GBP in the US. It will pay for your vacation in NYC to come to NY and buy on a Leica dealer's day. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerry Walden" <gerrywalden@cwcom.net> To: "LUG" <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 11:54 AM Subject: [Leica] London prices > I was in London today and noted that Dixons in New Bond Street had new > Leica R8's at 1795GBP and R6.2 at 2250GPB.
