Are those prices on the BP01 direct from the manufacturer, or have you found another outlet? Obviously, it isn't from inside the EU or the price wouldn't be in US dollars.

If you are in Europe GFR, don't forget the VAT and import duty you will have to pay if you import from a non-EU country. I have been badly surprised on one occasion by those kind of charges. Buying from an EU firm means you will pay no extras as far as I understand it, because VAT is already charged in the original price. You don't get charged again.

In effect, if these prices you quote are direct from Taiwan, you need to add VAT of 17.5%, import duty, and probably a customs handling fee. That's what happens here in the UK anyway. I'm not sure what the import duty is from Taiwan. Anyway - let us know how you get on.
