I love these amps, but I wonder why your price 2300 was so high. You can buy these brand new from the official site for €1150, which is 1490 USD ... even Michael's new price is marked up 50% (!). Is it some problem of getting the product from Switzerland into the USA ?

Is that US or Canadian funds?

Euro is down today, 1.07 to the dollar (1226.19). You may or may not have to pay the VAT, depending upon where Peche la Mouche is located. Of course, you won't have Michael's excellent customer service if you buy direct.

USD, sorry the price is $1500 and this includes the gig bag... It is indeed the shipping and duty that drives the price up.

Amplifiers has an import duty rate of 4.9%. Shippping is 140 USD (confirmed with the seller). Amp is 1250 EUR / 1320 USD on official site.

So that looks like (1320 + 140)*1.049 = 1532 USD brand new.

Where does the missing $600 + go? This doesn't add up for me...

He s in canada btw not usa, and ifhe bought from usa he ll still have to pay extra on top of what the american distributor paid

The prices for the Peche amps were set around 2008 when the dollar was much weaker and the manufacturer was charging more. Honestly, I don't think we've sold one since that time so the pricing was never adjusted.
