An explanation for the $20 increase on Alfred.

I had to cut these up to remove the political element:

That's kind of odd. At one point I naively thought the US was the main audience for most American programs, until I found UK, Canada, Germany, Mexico.. etc. all had atrong viewership. The Uk more often than not, actually competes or even surpasses in its fans of "pure American" pop tv. One would think that would extend to collectibles too. But maybe not. Heck it may just be that things have gotten bad enough economically abroad over the last few years they've already cut back ahead of us. On top of everything else that happened last year, this new tariff has me seriously debating when is the nostalgia limit gonna be tipped? The camel's back is gonna break sometime.
 
Did something happen overnight I'm no doubt going to receive phone alerts about in a couple hours? Was something rescinded, a deal made or pigs fly? Enquiring minds wanna know.

Besides USPS starting to accept parcels from China again yesterday, I don't know of anything else.
 
Deleted a bunch of posts and issued a couple of warnings. No politics outside the dark room folks. Also, no one cares if you are leaving a thread. YOU are not the subject of the thread. :peace
 
To clarify, if you're outside the US you'll see Alfred listed as $227.

If you're in the US the price will have the 10% tariff applied because, taxes have to be prepaid by the seller:

But there shouldn't be taxes just tariffs right? Taxes are for US which Kit is not.

Taxes are generally prepaid now, as they are on places like ebay as Kit mentioned.

4PX handle the tax, so it's in the amount you pay. Only now there's an extra 10% for the US.

With every 4PX delivery I see these two entries always exactly two hours apart:

2025-01-30 12:04 Released from customs: customs cleared.


2025-01-30 10:04 Arrival to the destination airport

The system operates like clockwork.



Since increasing the price for Alfred to $247 across the board Kit has managed to get his site to separate the US, so all other countries will now see the original $227 listing.
