Even better. Buy with Euros, and get 30% off to boot! All you need to do is have someone send it to you from the states, or go pick it up yourself. I happen to already have plans to do the latter.
Sorry, just remembered that you Danes rejected the Euro.

It's only $100 off an iMac. Perhaps a better word used would be "drops".
I just picked up my iMac G5, 1.8ghz, 20", 512mb, 160gb, BT internal, wireless mouse and KB for $1598!!!
The computer was listed retail in the store for $2073, today was supposed to be a $100 instant savings, but when I got to the register, the total price came out to $1598--ALMOST $500 OFF!
I signed the transaction and ran from the store as fast as I could!!
LUCKY ME!

The US Apple store doesn't seem to allow me to use a foreign credit card. If anyone knows a way around this, I'd be very thankful. If not, just wanna send a mea culpa towards Scandinavia way...

You got very lucky they didn't notice! When I was there today apparently the prices for 2 iMacs got switched - the 17 inch was ringing for the price of a 20 and the 20 as a 17. Lucky lucky sale.

Another way would be to withdraw money from an ATM machine using your credit card, and buying it with hard cash (although you might get charged a percentage for your withdrawal, depending on your contract with your card issuer).
Another way would be to tell Apple to take a copy of your passport, and if anything happens, they can easily find you.
It might be late, but it might work next time (if there is one).

Had to ultimately discard my scheming and take the $31 dollar discount in USD using my US-issued card. Your plan would have presupposed my presence stateside ( or at least that of my card), which wouldn't have been feasible (I had planned to have the item shipped to CA and then pick it up when I travel there in Dec.) For those who say that the weak dollar doesn't drive up demand for US exports!
