Price is a lil steep though.

900 Euro = 1,192.01 USD :o

Post by: Rhinoman on March 05, 2005, 10:36:09 AM: This kit was discussed a while back on this forum. I did communicate with them for a while but heard bad things about them. As they would only take Western Union money transfers I declined to pursue the matter. I like the insurance my credit card gives me. Price wise it's much cheaper than a Calmini. You should see what the Calmini costs over here. At current rates around $2000 Ã‚Â :o :o I have a genuine Calmini kit now, its easy to tell them apart as the wishbones are different. I bought mine used from the guy that used to be the UK importer of the Turkish stuff, he said he had lots of problems with getting deliveries and he didn't have anything good to say about the quality. Hence he fitted Calmini to his Vit and then to his X90.

Post by: Charlie on March 07, 2005, 05:34:03 PM: Euros are used mostly by banks rather than the man in the street but Turkey is part of the Europen Union.They have very strong military ties with the US who pushed though their application to join

Just out of interest how much does a calmini kit retail for in the states and does anyone now if a retailer will export it to the UK as calmini will not do this directly

Post by: Bobzooki on March 09, 2005, 05:57:55 AM: Why? Ã‚Â There are dealers that sell Calmini, in the UK.

EDIT: Calmini prices are on their web site:

Post by: madvitara on March 09, 2005, 06:08:55 AM: just looked at the prices on the calmini site, as i suspected the UK retailers are making a big mark up even with the shipping and tax i cannot beleave the price should be so high in the UK

US price $850=Ã‚Â£442
UK price Ã‚Â£800=$1541!!!!

see why now i want to import it without the middle man!

Post by: Rhinoman on March 09, 2005, 08:15:24 AM: The problem you will have is Calmini won't ship to the UK they will insist that you buy through Specialist Leisure who are the official importer. If you do find someone that will ship it will be very costly, its a heavy kit. On top of that you will have to pay import duty and VAT. Most carriers will also charge you around a tenner for dealing with the excise paperwork. SL are no worse than most importers I've dealt with, the going rate is usually Ã‚Â£1 per $1
