EU readers: Annoyed by the Sony price increases? You can “risk” and save up to 800 Euro on imported versions
Sony increased the price on almost all cameras and lenses sold in Europe. The Sony A7rII for example costs 3.599 Euro :(
There is only one way to pay les and that’s to buy grey imported items from the UK stores Kachashop (Click here) and E-infinity (Click here). They do sell Sony stuff imported with 1 year seller warranty. The reason why you don’t have to pay import tax on those is that they use a well-known “trick”. They import the products from Hong Kong into the UK (There is a UK-Hong Kong agreement where you don’t pay import taxes). And in a second step the UK store sells it to all Europe where they have free access to the Open Market. Of course BREXIT could change this soon…
A couple of examples of how much you save:
800 Euro off on the Sony A7rII at [shoplink 50876 ebay]Kachashop (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 50874 ebay]E-infinity (Click here)[/shoplink].
320 Euro off on the Sony 85mm GM at [shoplink 50877 ebay]Kachashop (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 50878 ebay]E-infinity (Click here)[/shoplink].
400 Euro off on the Sony 24-70mm GM at [shoplink 50880 ebay]Kachashop (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 50879 ebay]E-infinity (Click here)[/shoplink].
The “risk” is that you have to give up the regular 2 year Sony EU warranty for a 1 year seller warranty. OS it’s up to you if saving a lot of money is worth it!
