With massive regret i'm cancelling my order for a Hobie AI, reason, I've been on forums and discovered that in Australia you can buy an AI for $3,600 thats Australian dollars! overhere the exact same model is £2,999 thats a massive $6,600+ Australian dollars! and here in the UK you wont get a RRP discount!
I want the i12s, that's 1799 in the US, 2430 in the UK, and 3084 in Sweden! All prices in USD. What gives? I haven't called the Norwegian dealers yet from fear of getting a heart attack. I could actually fly to the US, buy it there, and bring it back myself, and still save money, including oversize luggage surcharges (unless the Norwegian customs people got me, then I would have to pay a 20% import toll, 25% VAT, and get a public flogging).
I posted a new thread on this but it seems admin approval is required. Here's to hoping it gets through so I can get some useful feedback. I'm not prepared to cash out 70% more than the Americans.
I'm with you Gunnstein, pricing for these does seem to be a bit strange. I can't seem to get an answer from Hobie as to why Australians have to pay nearly $Aus1000 more for the privilege of putting their AI together themselves, which is the only way to get an AI in the Dune colour.
