This is grand larceny. My part (No:6605) is finally in the mail from Nacra UK, three weeks after ordering it, and I just received a copy of the bill via email: £80.67, add shipping and 17.5% tax and the grand total is 104.08 pound sterling. For a mast base that cost $31 in the US (£16 at today's rate!). I'm all aware of distribution cost and currency exchange risk, but f!@#$% hell, that's a nice round 500% markup!

Tami send me an old mast ball, and frankly if it work I'm going to return the package to Nacra UK saying "no way" and buy the mast base from Philip who has one, or even from Murrays or this site: even with shipping it would be way way less money.

I'm all for supporting my local reseller, but this is extreme.
