Hello,

can someone explain me this:

In USA you get the cross penabled executive pen for 49,95 dollars:

In europe you will be able to buy the same pen for 89,90 Euros:
http://www.wacom-europe.com/uk/press...&prlanguage=uk
The pens will be available in April...

How is it possible, that there is such a great difference in the price? I
was really awaiting this pen, but I will certainly not pay 89,90 Euros for
it. The best of all is, that the people that have made reviews of the
penabled executive pen are questioning if it is really the 50$ worth... See

Well, I am not questioning the price any more. I have taken my decision...
89.90 Euros are at least 40 Euros to much. I hope WACOM reconsiders the
price politic of this product.

Best regards
Ricardo

Hi, Ricardo,

No exact answer, but the importing charges are probably a big part of it.

As to whether the pen is worth it, only you could determine that for
yourself. I like mine and use it constantly, but others won't share the
same opinion.
