Inaki,

guess what - distributors also have to pay for shipping. They finance their own marketing activities, need to pay their employees, have other costs, and - in the end - want to make some profit. As Parallax is selling the SX48/52 proto boards at almost their own costs, I don't assume that they can give their distributors a large discount on these.

I was just curious, and checked the Milford prize for an SX TechTool Kit: 80 UKP which is about 141 USD where Parallax sells it for 229 USD. The Milford prize does not include VAT which UK customers will have to pay on top. I don't know the VAT rate in the UK but I assume it is more than the 16% here in Germany which will set the price tag of an SX Tech Tool Kit bought in the UK close to the US price. So I don't think, there is a need to complain about distributors in general.
