 The price of many European products

Hi Nathan,

My experience has been the exact opposite.  With the
exception of cameras and cars, I find that I can buy
the same European product in Europe for about HALF of
what I would have to pay for it in the US.  Plus I get
the Value Added Tax I paid refunded when I leave the
country.  Now that I thing about it, with the VAT
refund cameras are probably cheaper too.

Regards,

Bill
