Smarter strategy for the European distributors would be to not ask ridiculous prices for the products.
So many shops and esp. the LHS here ask ridiculous prices for the kits.
If you order something from Asia and can save like €50 or more even when charged with import taxes and shipping you start wondering where those €50 come from.
I understand people have to make a living. but if you can save 50 euro on an amount of 250.
Found a German webshop that asks decent prices for kits though. Was looking at the TB-03R kit to replace my old TA-03 and compared the prices with Hong kong and including 19% tax the price was nearly identical.
Classic example was the old Dutch distributor that sold the Volac ESC (rebadged Sphere TC€240) for €350
