Buying from Steam TAX?

[Avery]

Geez i had no idea peeps were doing the new CS from HL2!! So I'm thinking of getting the bronze pack but I was wandering how much the TAX will be?? It's $49.95 which is £27 and I've seen it here in the UK for £26 so how much TAX will I be paying on the $49.95..

I wish it would have given me the total price before asking for my card details!!

17.5%. That makes silver £38.

 

[Fletch]

And the bronze £32. welcome to the forums :cheers:

Shipping?

Anyone know's how much the total price for the gold package will be?

I live in Denmark, so 89.90$ + 25% tax + shipping(30$ from USA??) = 140$ for the gold package, is that possible???

What do you expect or know?

Thanks


Maybe I should settle with the silver package

If you keep entering in your details, you are given a final bill before anything gets sent off to Valve. You can cancel or carry on from there.

Silver was 70 dollars 44 cents.

and im in the UK.

didnt feel like paying postage + waiting 8 weeks + spending more money for a hat and a bunch of posters and some strat guide.

Anyone bought gold package outside USA?

ok.

Could anyone tell me how much they payed for the gold edition, if living outside USA?? (this is price including everything)

Maybe also feedback on how many bought the gold edition at all?
Seems as if most have gone for the silver package, that's correct??


thx

My gold version ended from 95$ to 131$ I live in denmark.
That is a lot of money... but OMFG it's HL2!!

 

[dobber]

Ok
thanks for the info.
131$ is almost double price of the silver, doubt that it's worth it.

Exactly, why pay twice the money for NOTHING extra software wise?

all you get is a hat a bunch of posters a book and some other crap....

realy worth another 60 dollars? thats a whole other game or a hefty bit towards a memory upgrade.

So that's £32 for HL2 and CS source and I won't be getting anything through the post cos I download it all and activate it with a key right?? Over here it's around £30 so I might do steam, there's a hell of a lot of servers for CS source....

Its not internet tax....

its just tax... like every single thing sold ever (aside from airports)

 

[MilkMan12]

49.95 was charged to MY credit card, so I assume there was no tax (bronze pachage btw)

Import (yes, import) Tax only depends on which country u live in, generally it's 17.5%.

Just for reference if you live in the UK: Exchange rates correct as of 5th November 2004.

Bronze package - $58.69 - £32
Silver Package - $70.44 - £38
Gold Package - $135.64 - £73 (+ possible duty on the items posted to you)

The Bronze is equivilent to the retail DVD.

It's good living in Illinois when Valve is in Washington. I didn't pay any tax. And as for you people getting Bronze, Silver is much better - you get DOD:S and their whole back catalog. So... that extra $10 covers DOD:S which will probably be $20-30, and the other games, which can total to up to $30-50.
