Apple's UK site offers this Mighty (expensive) Mouse at £35. At today's exchange rate of $1.77/£1.00 that's $61.97 US. Even taking UK VAT into account, at 17.5% on the base US price of $49.00 the price would be $57.75 US.
Anybody have a well-reasoned argument why similar, indeed, identical products are so bloody much more expensive in the UK than in the US?
