Not quite - the not-so-good news for non-EU buyers is that the 15% discount
for exports outside the EU rarely applies to *used* equipment sold by
commercial enterprises, because they usually have only to account for VAT on
their margin, not the entire sales price of each separate item (because they
have not been able to reclaim the VAT on their acquisition of each item).
And many vendors sell used equipment on commission for private sellers (who
retain title until the sale).  In either case, export customers do not get a
full "VAT" discount. 

New equipment is a different matter, and a vendor who refuses to credit the
VAT on a sale outside the EU does not deserve to get your business.

Any non-European Union purchaser should ensure that there is no 15% VAT
sales tax buried in the price. This possibility will definitely exist if the
vendor is a commercial enterprise.
