I saw in MacWeek that the Turbo 601 for Mac IIci is priced at $999 but belgian dealers are shipping it to around $2000 or more !!! What's wrong ?! Best regards. Jacques Lovi.

>I saw in MacWeek that the Turbo 601 for Mac IIci is priced at $999 but belgian dealers are shipping it to around $2000 or more !!! There are two models of the Turbo 601: the 66 MHz version is US $999, a 100 MHz version is US $1799. Taxes, shipping charges and exchange rates can affect the final cost in international markets.

Given the large disparity between european and US prices. Is the daystar warranty still available if a product is purchased directly from the US by mail order. Even paying import duty and freight charges it is still more economic to do this. Roy Jaques Katwijk, Netherlands

Your local dealer would be under no obligation to assist with or accept the return of DayStar products purchased from a US dealer. Greg Erickson DayStar Digital
