Not sure about the shops, I would be trying to cash in on the weak dollar, this does not automatically mean it must be from the US. Though postage might be prohibitive for stuff like that.

But I would be more concerned about your goals and if that is the best equipment to get. If you are looking for general fat loss, then a set of weights would be more economical and give great results, and take up far less room.

I would recommend getting a real bike and getting functional exercise in if you do not already, e.g. walk/cycle to work/shops/pub. Clean the house, do gardening etc.

I would definitely not get both at once if you are not fully sure you will use them, can become expensive clothes horses.

If you're getting a rowing machine, don't go anywhere else but Concept 2. You'll be woefully disappointed.

Occasionally, these are sold on ebay (through Concept 2) after being refurbished. Concept 2's depreciate very little on the second hand market though it must be said.

I'd echo rub's sentiments about the economy of getting machines versus some weights and a pull up bar.
