If you order from the UK the Nelson Longflap and the Camper Longflap can be had for 50 pounds. At current exchange rates thats $75. I looked into it further and delivery costs a whopping 30 pounds making the total is $112 once VAT is taken off. So the 50% saving doesn't hold up with delivery, but it's still a good buy and there's just something about the Sackvilles that turns me off, just a personal aesthetics thing.
