Wdll, It's not that I think it's acceptable or logical, it's just the way it is...
If you go back just over a year when the exchange rate was more like 2.00 USD to the pound, you guys in the UK were definately getting a better deal than those living in the US. This is even more true if you manage to avoid the 17.5% VAT or Post Office handling fee.
I've bought and shipped quite a lot of stuff from the US to the UK (and visa-versa) and I'm surprised more people don't take advantage of the great US prices. Especially when the exhange rate is favourable.
