I dont think the exchange rate between euros and pounds is very good at the moment. I bought an 10 GB riocar from the states (boxed, new) last october, and I think that came to around £380 including shipping from the states...

I'm not in the market for another unit, but to me £700 seems like quite a lot for a 10GB unit, but I guess it all depends on how desperately somebody out there wants an empeg.

(Slight edit: If that £700 includes (which re-reading the message implies that it does) then £700 does sound petty reasonable)....

Anyway, good luck!
