That's probably what they did, which is a shame because they could have
seized the opportunity to level the prices throughout the euro-zone.

I think it's probably decided on a per country basis,
taking into account local taxes, shipping costs and pricing habits
(.99 is much more common in Germany than France, for example).

Still that does not explain why a certain set has the same price in two
countries while another set differs as much as EUR 10,- in price in those
same two countries. Shipping costs are calculated seperately so should not
be of influence.
