Yes, these prices are definitely higher than in the US

A tip for buyers not in the US - it's always worth checking with US vendors
whether they will ship internationally - a lot of them tick the US only box
without thinking about it, and will in fact ship overseas if you are willing
to pay the extra cost. USPS costs USD 26 for a 4lb package (insurance
extra). On top of that you will be charged customs/vat in the UK (and I
guess elsewhere) when the package is delivered. Even so, I've found this
worthwhile.

If a vendor has never shipped overseas, it may help to give a pointer to the
relevant shipping info, e.g.

PayPal works fine for payments in USD

Subject: [NTLK] eBay UK prices

For your interest, recent Newton sales on eBay.co.uk have been as follows:

9/1 MessagePad H1000 with accessories =A356
9/1 MessagePad H1000 with accessories =A372
22/1 MessagePad 2000 upgraded to 2100 with power supply =A3112
20/1 MessagePad 110 =A321
23/1 MessagePad 100 =A351
28/1 MessagePad H1000 =A338
6/2 eMate plus accessories =A3175
8/2 MessagePad H1000 with accessories =A341
9/2 MessagePad 120 (OS 2.0) =A356
10/2 unused eMate =A3122
12/2 MessagePad 110 with case and handbook =A338

An MP2000 upgraded to 2100 with stacks of accessories, a 24MB storage card
and a Nokia phone attracted a top bid of =A3245 but didn't reach its
reserve!

I guess these prices are higher than the average on eBay in the US?
