I had this in the states in a photography shop with a CF memory card. They took over half the asking price off it before I purchased it.
Seems standard practice over there.

Don't forget the taxes that will be added onto the agreed price! There may well be state and city taxes that bump up the total - it's usual to quote prices before tax in the US.

It's worth asking before committing yourself...

£260 is about going rate for a 3+ black here. Note '3+', not '3' as you mention in your post.

I'm told by a mate who is a GoPro dealer that the sub-£300 ones are grey imports and the UK wholesale price is around £300. When I pushed him though he also admitted there was no difference so I might as well buy the cheaper one instead of paying his price. Make of that what you will.
