The reason is that right now, the US Dollar is at a near record high 
compared to the British Pound.  Take a look at this chart:

A year ago when the Perseus price was set, a Pound cost about $2.11 US, but 
now it cost about $1.50, plus we don't pay the VAT tax and here in 
California we avoid the state sales tax.  That adds up to a massive savings. 
I looked into other dealers selling the Perseus in EU who use the Euro 
(Spain, Italy), but our best monetary advantage today is the GBP.
