Any better International purchase locations?

After having sold my GMT IIc, I've been regretting it and wanting to get one again. Kicking myself for not realizing the price had gone up a good bit since I had originally purchased.

Anyways, in thinking about buying a new one, I was wondering if there are any international purchase locations that may have better pricing. I travel a good bit around Europe and a bit less in Asia (mostly Hong Kong or Tokyo, though with Thailiand coming up). Any of these places have better pricing on a GMT IIc? Or am I just better off buying from a forum member?

Check out Gassan at Schiphol/Amsterdam. They have really good prices usually.

both of those options are good. in Schipol its 19% VAT and in Uk it is 20% BUt when worked backwards it is circa 16.5% off ( not 20 as said above) as they add they 20% on so when ot comes off it is a lesser %age
