Yes, EU is generally costlier (UK even more so) for electronics than anywhere else. The only way to get good prices in EU is to keep a list ready with the US prices of the items that you need, check local ads for Sale and pick up the item(s) if the price is attractive as compared to the US price. But this is possible only if you are there for at least 3 months. |
in US, buy US products. in Europe, buy European products. European products though sometimes are cheaper in other tax free zones, since they have a high sales tax. however in many cases on a foreign passport purchase you are eligible for a tax refund, they'd give you a cash discount, or a form through which you can claim refund from their embassies here. :-)
