If its a Canon one... don't you get an international warranty?
Ring Canon and ask them?

She found it in the US for that price ?

140 pounds is about USD 260 - which is $100 less than the going price for a new flash here (its about $360 after $20 in rebate) - so the price should be closer to 200 pounds.

Make sure that she is getting it from a reputed shop in NY - there are way too many camera shops in NY which are run by scam artists -- they sell grey market/used/stolen gear most of the time !

Ask her to get it from some well known place like B&H. At this price I find it hard to believe its genuine (unless my currency conversion is totally out of whack !!)
