it is ridiculous, especially of they are able to sell it for that kind of money in the US, then you can see how 'cheap' they actually produce that piece of plastic... they are not going to pay on top for every sold item in the states, they will make a good fat margin... disgusting.

or they calculate bleeding the europeans to make their share... as it looks like... F-ers.

We need a break over here! You Europeans are used to economic hardship, Americans aren't used to being squeezed like that. It's good that our ole pals, the Chinese are cutting us some slack.
