[Leica] M11 Monochrom is announced

[Frank Filippone]

I am intrigued in how you accomplished saving money in this situation...

Leica Store Manchester sells the camera for 8300 GBP.  That converts to $10,300 USD.

Duty in to the US is free..... Let's say shipping is free....

The US List price is $9000.  Even in states like California, where sales tax is almost 10%, buying direct in the US seems less costly.  Landed price 
would be about $10,000

How did you save $1000?  Is it the savings on the VAT that made this work?  (VAT is 20%... which is about a $2600 savings,,,,,)

Which is how you did it.....

US Based price is $9900

UK VAT-less price is $8700

And that is how you saved!!!!


Brilliant!

But I ordered it from Leica Store Manchester, so with duty added, I’ll pay about $1000 less than purchasing here in the US.  Should be delivered on Wednesday.
