Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products
Most Capital One credit cards do not charge a foreign transaction fee (most CCs 2-3%). If Begali accepts credit cards directly, you might want to look into one of those. Barry W2UP Tony Scandurra K4QE wrote That is incorrect. The purchase price is directly affected by the exchange rate. They even provide a link to xe.com on their website so you can figure out the actual cost in $USD. Be aware that there is still an exchange rate fee charged by your bank when you make the transaction, so the final cost will still be higher than the price calculated in xe.com. 73, Tony K4QE -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/OT-Good-time-to-buy-Begali-products-tp7597479p7597529.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

On line prices are in Euros, so a more favorable exchange rate will reduce the price in $US -- if ordered on line.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products
Regarding Begali's prices at Dayton, they are directly related to the exchange rate. Also, you are not paying for shipping. As for exchange fees, Paypal does a good job of making you dig for the information but you can determine the fee prior to making a transaction. To do so, follow these instructions: log in to your account, click on profile, click on my money, click on currency, enter the required information, then click on calculate. The last time I made a payment in Euros, I think Paypal added about 2.5 points to the exchange rate. Even with that, the cost of dollars to Euros is still at bargain levels compared to what it has been.I don't need any more keys but I must satisfy the K3's lust for a new one now and again so I, er, my K3 is sorely tempted to purchase another one given the current exchange rate. 73,Jim W5QM On Sunday, January 25, 2015 10:25 AM, Phil Wheeler w...@socal.rr.com wrote: On line prices are in Euros, so a more favorable exchange rate will reduce the price in $US -- if ordered on line.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products
I think there's a matter of semantics here. I believe the comment that the exchange rate will not affect Dayton prices can be interpreted as Begali will NOT purposely raise their prices BECAUSE of the exchange rate. As the dollar gets stronger, it means their prices will yield the same in Euro as before, except that it will take fewer dollars to buy them. 73, Charlie k3ICH - Original Message - From: Jim Hoge knowk...@verizon.net To: Elecraft Reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2015 11:44 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products Regarding Begali's prices at Dayton, they are directly related to the exchange rate.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products
Another endorsement for N3ZN paddles. I own a ZN9 and very pleased with it. I had a Begali Graciella, too, and sold it when I downsized by station about 6 years ago. kept the N3ZB paddle. Both are outstanding, but, IMO, the ZN is better bang for the buck (or Euro).
