What did it end up costing you...in US$?

It was 140 American and the origional price was 100 and something Euros.

Check if they charged you the German sales tax (19 %), you might get that back for permanently exporting the product outside of the EU.

All the amazon sites automatically remove VAT if your billing and shipping address is in the US. UK, DE and FR have always removed the VAT for me. I never had to do anything. You can also set them to have your credit card charged in $US now. It only works for in stock items but for me it's good because my CC charges me an foreign currency exchange fee otherwise.

While that's true for me too, I still choose to pay in the foreign currency because my bank gives me a better exchange rate than Amazon - despite the 1% foreign currency charge.

My wife looked at my last 2 orders and it was cheaper to let amazon do the currency exchange. I have to check but I think we pay more than 1%.
