If my memory serves me right their pricing is consistent at Dayton, HIGH. And no reflection on the Euro!

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).

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 On Sun, Jan 25, 2015 at 2:23 AM, Rick McGaver <[hidden email]> wrote: > If my memory serves me right their pricing is consistent at Dayton, HIGH. > And no reflection on the Euro! > NK. 9G/7 > Sent from my iPad > > On Jan 24, 2015, at 7:27 PM, Ken G Kopp <[hidden email]> wrote: > > > On Jan 24, 2015 7:25 PM, "Ken G Kopp" <[hidden email]> wrote: > > > >> Jim.... > >> > >> Check the keys on N3ZN's website. > >> > >> I have one of his straight keys and one of his paddles.

On line prices are in Euros, so a more favorable
exchange rate will reduce the price in $US -- if ordered on line. Phil W7OX On 1/24/15 11:23 PM, Rick McGaver wrote: > If my memory serves me right their pricing is consistent at Dayton, HIGH.

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 <[hidden email]> wrote: On line prices are in Euros, so a more favorable exchange rate will reduce the price in $US -- if ordered on line.

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" <[hidden email]> To: "Elecraft Reflector" <[hidden email]> 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.

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.
