That certainly hasn't been true for Hasselblad and Minox items I bought from
European dealers.  They were about %40 (on average) less than I would pay
for the same items here in the US!  It costs me about %10 for bank fees and
shipping, so I save about %30 overall.  I can't say for Leica, since I've
never bought any Leica gear from Europe, only from here in the US and from
HK.
