    Alastair,
    You lived in Germany for ages.
    Time to use your old skills, eh?

    Cheers

    It happens. When Grizzly introduced the Fox "Parrot" vise, there were a couple of sellers successfully retailing them on eBay for twice the catalog list price. I think they got away with it for a while because some buyers didn't know the thing was on the market, and since it was way cheaper than the American unobtainable one, it seemed like a good deal. . .

    The Knuth prices in the States are out of sight also. Must be the precision Germina engineering
    The optimist says the glass is half full, the pessimist says it's half empty. The paranoid in me says somebody put a hole in it.

    Remember pessimists are at heart opptomists. They know things can and will get worse.

    Looks like no one has been dumb enough to buy from them. Not one feedback as a seller, only as a buyer.
