Hmm, I don't think it's the lack of competition thats the cause of high prices. There's plenty of competition in the PC components market, you have ebuyer, dabs, Aira, maplins, micro direct, scan etc etc etc. Europe as a whole is a High Tax Economy, thats where the high prices come from. More socialist compared to the US.
More competition is always welcome, so this is good news for us Europeans, I really don't want to ruin my loyalty to ebuyer though..........
