Re: [Harp-L] Cheaper Manji's



The price of harmonicas can vary in the USA . In Philly the sales tax is 7% outside
in the rest of PA it's 6% in Delaware to the south it's 0%.

With regard to cheaper Manji harps in the USA, I can fully appreciate that
many more harps will be sold in the States than the UK purely due to the
ratio of players to those in the UK.  In the past I have purchased Suzuki's
from the states cheaper than I could at trade prices over here, even taking
into account postal charges and import taxes.  Unfortunately due to the
exchange rate that option is no longer viable.

I do not know what the tax situation is like in the States and that may
account for some of the cheaper price, but as a person that is always
looking for a bargain I do get a little miffed that the same item is often
available elsewhere quite a bit cheaper than in the UK.  If you like I do
take it personally, but I suspect I am not alone.

It would be interesting to know the prices that Suzuki charge their main
suppliers in both countries.

I did'nt really want to get into a debate over this, but merely meant to
highlight the difference in price between the 2 countries.
