It's the edge 500 with the extra gubbins so normally about £173 ish . Oh and never thought about cc charges but still cheaper than buying here even on Amazon uk ???

So no import duties to pay ??? Doesn't seem right? Been looking on eBay second hand but brand new for an extra £20 seems a good deal?

No, because you'll pay French tax, part of EU. Says it already includes TVA which is 20% odd IiRC. You need to pay for delivery though

Will it come with a UK warranty, or will you need to send it back to a French company when it goes faulty?
