Did you consider VAT in that €280?

You don't pay VAT in the USA? I don't remember specific examples but usually prices of phones or such were just 1:1 even if the exchange rate was like .95

I never recall 1:1 pricing here in europe... everything was much more expensive. Whenever I could, I would ask relatives/friends from the US bring in things that I wanted.

Huh okay, either we looked at different products or I very much misremember. Odd.
