My old one is broken, so I was thinking of buying a new one. But I am wondering if the price is the same as here in Norway, of if its cheaper in Poland.

I dont need a 80 gig Ipod or anything. Just arounde 8 gig with a screen would be nice.. Can anyone tell me what this would cost in Poland? And where it is cheapest?

Ipod nano is what I am most intrested in =)

Electronics tend to be more expensive in Poland. I think you'll be looking at 700-800 zł

Ipod nano 4GIG costs 480PLN and a 8GIG costs 640PLN inNorway.. So it cant be that expensive

edit: 8 gig costs 619PL.. Took 1 hour to finde the price on the polish apple store =P

I'll look arounde to see what I can finde. Ipods are nice becouse they are easy to use and you can connect it to Itunes.

You won't have a problem finding one, but will be a bit more expensive for the nano.

I've just completed my 1,244th transaction on ebay. More than half of those were purchases. I buy everything on Ebay from clothes to electronics, my iPod, my computer, stationery, presents, jewellery, printer and cartridges, map of Poland (!), books etc etc i tak dalej ...

In Norway you have to pay taxes (24%) on the items you buy in other countries if the price is over 100PLN... Thats why its often not worth buying things online here =(

Is there some kinde of limit like this in Poland too?

Yes. The limit is EUR 22 for purchases and EUR 44 for gifts.

But one of the joys of ebay is that you can almost always convince the seller to declare a value far lower than the true value of the item (EUR 19 is a good one) and thus get the item imported without being nailed for tax. I generally frown on people avoiding paying tax but as the government has already taken 41% of the cash my employer pays me before I can spend it, I tend to object to them then taking another 22% of everything I spend too. Paying 63% of your income in tax is one thing when you live in a country like Sweden where the health care, roads, government services, education, social services, social support, etc, etc are superb. But paying it in Poland, where pretty much everything the government is in any way involved is utterly sh!t, is a joke.

Yes. The limit is EUR 22 for purchases and EUR 44 for gifts.

But this limit applies only to purchases made outside of EU. Inside EU the limits are much more reasonable, if there are any at all. I'm happily buying things worth a few hundreds EUR on ebay.co.uk and amazon.co.uk never worrying about any additional costs.
