I was just going to order Prusa printer when...
Hello everyone, I was just going to order my 1st Prusa printer when I accidentally saw the price:
I noticed that the price for some customers is lower than the price for other customers? Why is there such discrimination based on geographical location of the customer? For example if you buy the printer in Kč, it is more expensive than if you buy it in EUR. Is this because Prusa wants to prevent people from the Cech Republic buying out many Prusa printers and selling them for example on eBay, for profit? https://www.google.com/search?q=19+990+Kč+in+eur

You do understand currency fluctuations, right?

Price has consistently been the same since I've been looking at it despite fluctuations in the USD. Not a helpful question.

Taxes is one likely variable that will change pricing significantly depending on locale. Prusa also tries to keep base printer prices low for some destinations to avoid import duties (e.g. $800 into the US IIRC).

Gave $749 usd with free shipping (TY Josef for the holiday deal) ordered on Wed and arrived Friday, I'm through dealing with China!
Assembly was a 3 day bear but so far so good. My 1st rodeo with 3d printing!

Well, you need someplace to put all those textured spring steel sheets, right?

Very True.
I tested so many of them. I will say that the only 6 worth using are Matterhackers rebranded King, The King V4, The King V3, TriangleLab, and Two different types of textured sheets from Prusa. I have V1 and V2 King and they are garbage. I also have two other variants from china and both are garbage.
I guess that comes out to more than 8, but you get the point. I am done testing unless Prusa comes out with a smooth PC sheet again.

Beats my experience. I ordered my MKS3 Kit on July 3. Went to Payment Accepted on the 3rd.
No further progress. Today is the 8th. Still says Payment Accepted.
This is to the US. What country are you in?
