Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999

  You have to take into account the price is always shown with VAT included in the EU, not in the US.

  The price without VAT in France would be €865,83.

    I have a 15% vat in my country so I guess im just not used to the US not having a vat. Stupid US stop excluding tax from your prices its insanity

      The trouble is, tax rate varies dramatically across the whole U.S. We don’t have a consistent nationwide VAT like much of the rest of the world.
