It is OK for individuals too, but you must in your mind add the VAT to
all ex-VAT prices you see (which includes outside-EC prices and prices
on B-t-B price lists).

nothing wrong with that, 6 years ago I ordered my first batch of PICs
(from PHAanderson) and started selling them in the Netherlands (at half
the price of the shops-around-the-corner, but still with some profit).

I might be forced to raise the S/H fee a little. My margins are OK as
they are now. If fact you can figure out my margins on PICs as I order
them mostly for uChip :)
