If they only sell through the channel try getting your mate to speak to the local distributor - they're bound to be cheaper.

you can always spot somebody who works in IT and yes tp is right, the are unlikely to sell direct but you find a Swedish reseller (yes I work in IT) with a lower mark-up.

I seem to remember a swedish guy looking over here for some cheap ohlins goods a while back. Given the price of beer, I'd be surprised if anything was cheaper over there!!
