prices might have shifted. my price checking was a few weeks ago. Let me double check.
well, that particular item is currently on promotion 10% off. the original price, the price i saw $4699 is still showing. (but it is also 10% to the UK so UK vs USA pricing gap remains. Yes, at 10% off. UK ex-VAT price is $3682 or 4419 - VAT $737; USA sale price $4200 so $518 diff or 14% more )
Let's look at another one.
Vitus ZX1 Team Road Bike (Force eTap - 2020)
to the US: $4699
to the UK: $4909 (including 20% VAT or $818) so Wiggle keeps $4091
so they keep $608 more for that bike shipped to the US (and a US buyer pays $90 shipping so a total of $4789)
I've updated my original post (above) to include items that at the time of writing are full price.
and the price differences persist.
and I expect that if anyone checked pricing for any full priced item for UK vs USA delivery, these discrepancies would persist.
