Again, we europeans are shortchanged. Why? USD4.99 is worth about
EUR4.00, and not EUR5.49. As with the retail prices, we subsidize the

Are taxes included in the Euro price? They're not in the US one.
OK, but it's not as if we had 38% sales tax here...

Besides, they are made in Europe and shipped to the US, so this factor
has not been taken into account yet.
