Is that a typo on g66.eu?
3 and a half grand?

Always the same debate, to the USA price you must add the VAT, the €/$ parity and the 3 years warranty and the g66 work
. it seems that the prices increased just a little bit (cough), like everything. madness.Yeah, if you take the base price of the Turbo ($2,499), add the 3 year warranty ($229), account for the exchange rate and VAT (I assumed 20%) it looks like it comes up to just under €3,400. In the US a Turbo with the extended warranty would be around $2,900 including sales tax (about 6% or 7% in most states). The exchange rate and higher taxes account for the remainder.
Hey, that's still cheaper than MSRP on a Marshall JCM 800 reissue over here
It doesn't, do the mathsYeah, if you take the base price of the Turbo ($2,499), add the 3 year warranty ($229), account for the exchange rate and VAT (I assumed 20%) it looks like it comes up to just under €3,400.

Yeah, when everything is taken into account, g66 are actually a bit cheaper.

It was just meant to be a ballpark breakdown of the price difference, I didn't think about accounting for customs fees. My point was that I don't think Fractal or their distributors are in any way trying to gouge overseas customers.
May not now that anything sold for more than $600 generates you a 1099 to pay income tax on here in the US…. As of January 1-2022
Yes but at the same time the first version of the axe was 800e less when I got one ( if I m not wrong). It is not the turbo, I agree, but 3400 wow. This is not affordable for everyone. When I saw the price of the fm9, it stopped me in a minute.
Cruel one dude
Purchasing non used gear it’s more and more difficult . Everything jumped to 20% more. Not only fractal, everything. With luck there is a huge second hand market as people like to buy product and sell them one week after
. I worked in a Music shop half of my life and I m very impressed how it increased… ten years ago, I was selling a usa std strat for 1180e . Now they are …1900 ! 
. At this price before you could get a vintage serie or signature or whatever. No seriously this is mad. The problem is that we aren’t paid 20% more . Riots are slowly coming like ever. Some of this may of course be so ordered and reimbursed by Cliff, who I figure doesn't want us to suffer silly faults in his stuff, even past the 3-year guarantee period.
