Title: Where to buy a Nomad i Europe?? Or preferably Norway.
Post by: duckman on August 10, 2004, 11:30:17 AM: Hi all, signed up here today, after being advised that this is the place to find out everything about taping.
And so it seems! :)

I've been taping using an old Sony MD with ShortPlay, and it really sucks to have to change disks halfway in the show

So I'm considering buying this Nomad that everyone seems to reccomend.

Only problem is, it seems to be virtually impossible to find in Norway.
So does anyone have any tips to where it could be found? Any Norwegians with one of those who knows where to get one?

Seems to me the Nomad Jukebox Zen is what all webshops have.

I could consider buying from abroad, but the customs here slaps a 30$ or more customsfee on anything that costs more than 25$
Only way to get things in to the country without that happening is having the shop writing the price for any product at 20$ or less.
And not many shops do that.

So, any feedback is very welcome.

Now, I'm going back to reading the forums :)

www.ebay.co.uk is probably the easiest way to get a refurbished JB3 at a decent price (around £100 + shipping) since Norway isn´t a member of EU you will have to pay taxes anyway if you can´t have it delivered to Sweden and pick it up there.

I have seen them for sale in Sweden for about 4000 SEK which is horribly expensive. (about $550)

On another Swedish web shop I read that it was out of stock since Creative doesn't make the product anymore ???

Just a thought... what if you had someone pick one up state-side and shipped it to you as a gift??? Is that subject to extra charges ???

Well... sort of... It would work 'cause that person would then mark the package as a gift, and would also be able to put the value of the contents down to about 20$. There would also be no invoice in the package, so if opened, customs could not "override" the value on front of the package.

I've had luck getting some sellers on eBay doing that. But I'm sort of sceptical of buying used equipment of this kind.. Who knows what kind of bumpy ride it's had.

Post by: Species on August 19, 2004, 07:41:04 AM: Has the JB3 been discontinued (in Europe)? I was going to buy one in Sweden but they have all disappeared. More and more web sites state that it has been discontinued. Does anyone know what's going on?
