I've no idea whether it's expensive or not. Wouldn't the ebay price include the original import duty and p&p (the seller's including the cost of sending in the price). As far back as I can remember the cost of most items from America just seemed to have their $ replaced with our £.
I bought one a couple of months back. I think it cost me £52 all in (inc P&P). I did not get lynched my customs though so could add significantly to the costs.
Import duty is generally 8% - 12% then add VAT at 17.5%.
Therefore:
$100 (International purchase and postage) + Import duty(@12%) = $112
Then:
$112 + VAT (@17.5%) = $131.60
Convert to £ sterling:
That is +/- £67.00
Added to which the magnificent value for money Post Office handling charge of a tenner:
Total approximately = £77.00
I have a mate who works for the Cuzzers in the ID, he tells me that they hit about 25% of incoming packages with a charge.............they have not got the man [or woman] power to deal with every item that comes in.

This is expensive! Even with "free" p&p.
I got one about three weeks ago for £51ish inc p&p. No duty (lucky me) but even if I had paid it, it's cheaper than £99.99.
Also, by buying direct you get to deal with the guy who actually makes the stoves.

:Wow: Brand spanking new- on ebay item number 260249978072
No connection with seller -ahem...cough cough, well...maybe
A tad expensive dont you think from what I have seen since being on this site people are very aware off what they want and research before they buy you wont do your cred any good by offering goods at over inflated prices thats the goverments job
Tourist (Alex) is right-
The wee surplus is supply and demand forces - there aren't many around.
Price and 'expensive' are all personal perception- I paid for knives and loads of other kit, many that were 'a tad expensive' but it was my choice as in lack of availability, time to get one, etc.
this 'bushbuddy' is here in the UK now and ready to rock! well burn!
£10 off if sold to a member of this parish!
Woodstock- I hardly think that asking an extra tenner or so is ' over inflated prices'- do you?
Note:
to demonstrate goodwill, I have added a 'open to sensible offers'- on fleabay- but that doesn't mean that I will take a loss on it what with taxes etc.

Its a tin can,,,,,,, well OK, stainless steel can,,,,,,,,£100 or even £50
"needs no batteries"
NO, because its a can
"Burns pine cones" YES because its a stainless steel can with holes in
John Fenna makes things like this with pots he picks up in charity shops and I now know people pay between £50 and £100
I'm off to bed, I've not had such a laugh in ages
Good night all
