I do remember that in Msia there is a pretty high Tax issued on amplifiers. If I can recall correctly it is something like 50% or something like that but this info is like since 1992 so I'm not sure if it is still current.

Does anyone have price points in Hong Kong? I saw some Mesas at Tom Lee, but didn't have time to ask prices. Nice range there.

Makes no diff if its brand new or secondhand. Import tax 25(?)% of declared value + 10% sales tax. OKlah, say 15% of sales value is for fixed overheads. Dunno how much discount you get for being the official distributor, say 20%? So, based on their list prices even after discount, thats a hefty profit margin. Oh well, one doesnt buy a Mesa every other week, does one? Sorry ya Bentley, just shooting the breeze. BTW they are opening a new outlet at a place called The Curve, seems its a mighty big place.

It's near The Curve, they have their own building...

Edder: No prob! I don't think it makes a difference whether new or old...

The latest episode in this saga.

Come with me if you want to live (Part 2) Gitbuddy’s Guitar Blog

"An incensed Bentley (and it amazes me that they even know about this) has decided to try to intervene by complaining to Mesa HQ that nobody is buying from them and wants them to stop all shipments to this part of the world that don’t go via them. Wow. How about that."
