Merrily said:Hey, I checked out your Laser sales website. How come Lasers are so much more in the UK than the US?
peterbye said:Welcome to Rip-off Britain! Everything is more expensive here than in the US.
If you pay a thosand dollars for something in the States it will usually be a thousand pounds for it here. Even stuff that's made in Britain is usually cheaper in the States.
Merrily said:Wow, how much is a pint of Newcastle?

Hi Chris, just to understand you right: The new Lasers, that are sold on your side of the globe, are only having the old stuff?Murphs said:new lasers have just gone up here too, we dont have any pro version
Murphs said:id rather a new boat, the $750 - $1000 cost difference doesnt really justify it for me but that is just personal preference
I would much rather buy this way than get a used boat a year old that's had a season of hard racing, for very little less money.

emilebr said:Friday I went to a watersport store where they sell parts of Laser. We talked a bit about the Laser prices. The guy of the store told me that the prices will increase very much soon. In Greece they have the new prices already: a new laser costs almost 7000 euro, instead of 6000. Unfortunately the other European country's will follow Greece......I think because the Laser Radial is olympic now.....
PS: The price of one beer (20-25 cl) is here in the Netherlands around €2,-
Merrily said:Well, so much for choosing the Laser Radial so more countries could afford to get in.
