If I buy from the US I need to pay tax on that + expensive shipping. The dollar is extremely weak vs swedish kr right now and prices here doesn't go down because of the weak dollar. Computer components is very cheap tho.
2500kr is the price with tax for a pentax grip here. Before the dollar went down 2500kr was closer to 250 dollars than 384.
Sold one of the broken grips, going to sell another too. Will probably make a profit and keeping one and noone will feel ripped off because a functional 3rd part grip in swedish stores goes for about 100 dollars (wich I got 3 for on ebay).

Random input here (and some rage).
I've bought three 3rd party grips for my k-7. All faulty. The wheels doesn't work properly with the camera (k-7). It seems the contact isn't 100% right with the camera for some reason.
One of the grips works pretty good, both wheels register right movement like 90% of the times.
Got them for 33 dollars each. IMO it's worth getting a broken 3rd party grip before paying 384 dollars for the original grip (best price in Sweden). That's over 10 times the price. WTF, who is stupid enough to buy a original grip? As someone said in another thread, they deserve to part from their money. For 384 dollars you could probably get a new k-x, go figure whats more expensive to manufacture, a camera or a grip?
