Well yes that's clear, I'm just wondering why there's such a gouge in the price.

Remember sales tax in Europe is typically 18-25%, and included in all advertised prices.

20% tax gets you up to 320 Euros, and then you still have 50€ mystery fun charge.

Check your math. 5/6th of 370 = 308. According to a current exchange rate, 308 euros = $402. So, a whole $32 extra dollars. That seems appropriate given the heavier regulatory conditions on the EU. (Mandatory warranties, etc)

Tariffs and trader regulations, and the difference isn't THAT huge. Look at price differences for things like monitors and other PC parts.
