    I priced out a Dell e6400 atg on the us dell site, the euro dell site, and the uk site.

    Before taxes and shipping, and doing the current currency conversion, the UK site came out to be almost $1000 USD cheaper...and the euro site was about $700 cheaper...whats the deal? Can I use that as leverage to order from the US site? I guess I should mention I am American living in the US.

    If you could deal with a different keyboard, do they ship internationally? :D

    They won't ship internationally, I can tell you that.

    Different markets have different prices. While I did use the USA E6400 price drop as leverage, I think it was mostly luck that my rep tried to price match.

    USA customers can get various coupons and discounts which don't work in Europe.
