With respect to the Prototypist situation I was about to ask the exact same thing. Mind you, vaf1en, there is still a chance for a trade deal to be struck, and the incoming Biden presidency has made that slightly more likely. However, the window is quickly closing and considering the ticket Boris ran on, remaining in the common market may be unlikely in any case, so that private customers are getting hit with import VAT in any case (trade deals often only affect businesses - there is an EU deal with Canada, for example, but it has zero impact on me directly buying stuff from there). So, the probability of EU27 customers paying 20% UK VAT now and, in my instance, paying a whopping 25% on top of that next year (Swedish VAT) is high - taking the US pricing, this would turn out to be a 728 USD board for me as a result (of course, just with Swedish VAT it would anyhow be a 606 USD board - which I would be fine with - taxes keep society running after all). If Jae can set up a (true) EU dependency somehow, that would be terrific, but otherwise, UK vendors are very likely the same to an EU buyer as Ilum, Cannonkeys or any other from 1/1/2021. In that case, I'm just not willing to risk it in the old year. Thanks for taking a closer look at this with Jae, Gondo.
