I can't say with any authority, but an interesting theory is mentioned in this thread.

you change the currency displayed on the website at the top of the store page.see the pic i attached. when you change currency, it updates the printers price.

The price for a kit in euros (as of now) is 635.54€ whereas the price in US dollars is 749.00. Taking account for (current) exchange rates it's actually about 10 USD (8.60€) cheaper to buy it in euros than any other currency.

For me a mk3 kit is 906 us dollars, and yes, I never noted, but you can change the currency and the same mk3 is 769 euros
