I paid $300 for mine but I found out that customs use a fixed rate currency conversion system which changes from week to week. When I looked at it, the figures were slightly higher meaning they could sting me for a couple more quid.

The import duty also depends upon what kind of product it is, a car stereo is taxed at over 10% yet computers are taxed at about 4%. Try explaining that the empeg is in fact a very small linux based computer that happens to fit in a DIN slot and not strictly a car stereo to the girls who work on the customs call center,

"What do you mean you don't know what Linux is!?!?!!".

Hope you get as much fun out of your player I give got out of mine!

Cheers,
