As for the VAT and other Eurosocialist bloodsucking I can't testify and I feel for you
, but if you look carefully on ebay you can find auctions where the Ace Edge goes for $100US pretty routinely, I don't think theres a big scramble for it right now. For example my auction was at $95 when I entered my bid, it went to $96 with my bid, I remained the high bidder for10hrs and won with just that $1, so the other bidders must not have wanted the stick that badly.
Also the current devaluation of the dollar is sure to make it much more affordable for you, don't forget about that, your euros are buying alot more dollars now than a couple of months ago. Maybe that will help offset the tariffs and postage? BTW Was the Ace Edge not sold in Europe?
