How much of that 40% discount gets eaten by import duty / fees / taxes when you buy from the US? I guess you must get a much better deal than we do on that.
Cheap stuff from Japan / Singapore / HK isn't cheap to the UK anymore, once you add VAT and import duty/fees/shipping it's a waste of time. Certainly, looking at Sakura prices a GS is going to work out no better than maybe 5%-8% cheaper than just buying full price from a UK AD. And in that case you can get a discount from @ejay2.0. ;)
