Belkin products are always horribly overpriced, no matter what the market, but priced as follows: Belkin mini-hub from Best Buy: $19.99 Darty: 29.99 € it's no deal and try comparing them against: <http://macally.com/new/new_hubmini.html> which is not only cheaper, but a lot more elegant and goes better with my Cube :-). If you stop into just about any US box shop or local PC shop you'll see generic and name brand USB hubs in the $12-25 range. Erik On Friday, March 7, 2003, at 01:03 PM, Joseph B.

From what I can tell, the Darty price includes VAT. > Does this sound right to Erik and others in France?
