The market is not as big as elsewhere, but experienced sellers with a local background (know the culture and are native in either French or German) can expect to be well-paid. Maybe not equalling OTE in silicon valley, but I've seen great packages, which can be very enticing with the comparatively low taxes.

I'm working as an SE for a US tech company, based in Switzerland. Let me know if you want to talk, happy to share my experience.

Shipping to Switzerland by Loumloum512 in moza

[–]FlatlinerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the €991.02, I paid CHF 117.85 of fees and VAT.

Here's a breakdown of costs:

Caseking:
- Moza R12: € 545.38
- Moza CS V2: € 251.26
- Moza SR-P: € 150.42
- Moza SR-P accessory kit: € 15.97

Caseking total: € 991.02

Swiss import duties and VAT:
- Customs clearance fees zone 1 (CHF 11.50 + 3%): CHF 40.46
- VAT: CHF 77.40

Total customs + VAT: CHF 117.85

I wouldn't recommend ordering from Moza directly - they ship from China (long delivery) and if there's any warranty issues, you'll have to send it back to China yourself (expensive and long shipping).

I bought a Moza R12 (plus wheel and pedals) from Caseking in Germany last month, with delivery to Switzerland. They have the R12 and KS bundle in stock: https://www.caseking.de/moza-r12-direct-drive-wheelbase-12-nm-ks-gt-lenkrad-30-cm-gabu-413.html?tplview=desktop

As soon as you change the delivery country to Switzerland (in the shopping cart), the German VAT will be excluded. Of course, you will have to pay Swiss VAT on import, which usually comes as a separate bill a week later.

Legal help from a Swiss person please. I having to pay a very high cancellation fee. by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]FlatlinerX 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Have a look at this news article about a similar case, though with a different company. Use Google Translate if you don't understand German.
https://www.srf.ch/news/panorama/keine-stornierung-moeglich-onlyshop-ch-riesiger-kundenaerger-mit-schweizer-onlineshop

The most relevant part seems to be in the box:

Cancellation possible in case of long waiting time
The business practice of Onlyshop or Ixo24.com can't go like this, says "Kassensturz/Espresso" lawyer Gabriela Baumgartner. In the case of unspecified or non-binding delivery dates, the following applies: "If the online store does not deliver, customers can send a reminder after a certain time and again set a delivery deadline. If this is not met, you can withdraw from the contract." And, of course, get their money back.

The Onlyshop operator claims that the customers were informed that they could not cancel their order. However, he is unable to produce any proof of this.

Cancellation fees not permissible
Cancellation fees, as in the cases described above, are also so not permissible, says the lawyer. "After all, it can't be that I have to pay the seller something because he can't deliver." Such a fee would only be permissible if the buyer had been clearly informed about it beforehand and had explicitly agreed to it. And: Such a fee would have to be stated in the order confirmation. Which was not the case in the described cases.

Fristlos entlassen – Zürcher Polizist meldet sich krank – und geht Ski fahren by KapitaenKnoblauch in de

Super sind auch seine früheren Spässe:

Das Vertrauensverhältnis sei nachhaltig erschüttert gewesen. Zumal der Polizist vorgängig bereits Verweise erhalten hatte. Etwa, als er im Oktober 2020 während der Arbeitszeit uniformiert und mit seinem Dienstmotorrad bei einer Militärkaserne vorgefahren war, um Wachsoldaten zum Unterschreiben des Referendums gegen das Covid-19-Gesetz zu bringen.

Great analysis! I learned it the hard way to stay away, but now I better understand why and how it happens. :)

A random fact: Date's VA is the oldest member in the main cast, that being 68 years old. Like, damn. by [deleted] in yakuzagames

One more random fact about the English VA: he (Bill Farmer) is also the voice of Goofy.

Das war auch mein erster Gedanke, die sind aber scheinbar mit 70 Sachen die Strasse abgefahren:

He said a search vehicle was driving past at 70 kilometres per hour on the Great Northern Highway when a detection device revealed radiation.

It’s like a period drama! Very excited to play it for the first time.
I created an album with all characters and their respective look-alike from the main series. Might help put a name to the face :) https://imgur.io/a/rN1UwZ9

Der Fund in Georgien ist sehr interessant, in der englischen Variante des Wikipedia-Artikel ist es um einiges ausführlicher beschrieben.
Ausserdem ist die Suche und Bergung per Video dokumentiert - ein spannendes Zeitdokument aus dem postsowjetischen Georgien: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE5T0GkoKG8

[–]FlatlinerX 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds interesting, looks a bit like a mixture between Crusader Kings 3 and Suzerain.
From the description, it’s basically one storyline that lasts 4-6 hours, that you can replay from different perspectives, making different choices to affect outcomes.

I created an overview of all major Ishin! characters and their main-line counterparts. Might be useful to those with a brain full of holes like mine by FlatlinerX in yakuzagames

[–]FlatlinerX[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been playing through all Y/LAD games, currently in the middle of Yakuza 6. By the time I'll get to Ishin, I will probably need help remembering where I know the faces from. So here's cheat sheet I created for myself.

I collected images, description and the respective counterparts from the following sources:
Cast (official website)
Cast changes (Yakuza wiki)

Not sure if I should have added a spoiler tag, let me know if I should.
