So the V1 was 159 with free postage. The V2 is 139 + 12.50 postage...7.5 euros cheaper. That is a bit naughty really...What happened to the its a bit cheaper to make it a better deal for V1 owners...7.5 euros?!?!?!?!?
It 'tis what It Is...
And What It Is, I want
So, $178 US shipped It shall Be.
Trigger pulled and GEM II acquired

i agree!UPS Tracking Number assigned.
Awesome....
Brothers, anytime an updated and improved device comes out and is ANY cheaper than its Predecessor,,,,,
I call that both a Win and a Deal
I just meant that I was surprised that postage was extra, as it's the same price as the Chalice III, which has postage included.
My point was that it was, apparently, part of the idea of 'lowering' the price that it would be more attractive to V1 owners who wanted to upgrade. To be honest, 7.50 euros cheaper is not making me want to run to the website and order one for a bit more AF and maybe improved JF. That's all. The fact is, it isnt 139 euros, its 151.50 euros...
I do agree with that. The Initial Listing also said Shipping (typically UPS) included in the Price for non-EU Buyers. So disappointed-Yes. But, C'est La Vie.
$12.50 EU for International UPS 3-5 Day Shipping to The States is still pretty dang cheap in comparison.

Be interesting to see what Vapin' Art charges shipped to U.S. Buyers and compare to what I paid direct from MBP.
Their Website says open for sales at 1:00 pm Eastern Time here.

I am deeply surprised as well. Since time immemorial anything MarkBugs was always shipped free. As @TheotherSteveS correctly opined - this indeed is naughty (and a bit cheesy imo).
Checked Vapin' Art.
Would have been $178.35 if bought from them INCONUS and shipped to me.
So, a wash in the long run (actually about 53 cents cheaper direct from MBP after Exchange Rate). I'm Cool with that and cool with MBP getting the Retail Funds.
It's All Good
Well, not "All Good" till the GEM II is built, wicked, filled, and firing proudly atop my WAEII 40

I'm with you Tinben - the shipping thing stopped me for all the time it took for me to get the cursor over to the 'purchase' button Still surprising though
