[QUOTE="Sabby, post: 42091, member: 873"] Why are we being charged such exorbitant prices for hi-fi equipment in this country? Only one answer comes to mind, GREED, GREED AND MORE GREED. The importers seem to be of the opinion that now that the consumer is buying far less than before, they might as well push up prices to make up the difference. The problem we have in this country is weak consumer resistance. People will blindly pay these prices, not knowing that they are being ripped off. When is the consumer going to fight back and say enough, we will not be taken for a ride any longer! There were however two distributors I found who seemed to be charging fair prices for their products when compared to prices in the UK, namely Sony and HFX Systems. When I compared prices of their products to those in the UK taking into account the current exchange rates, then their pricing seems very fair. But as for the rest... [/QUOTE]
