[QUOTE="Now Playing, post: 94565, member: 2381"] Personally I think that when one looks at the price differentials, in many cases, one has to have rocks in one's head to support the local agent/ distributor etc. My experience is they often don't have the stock in the first place, take your cash or a large deposit up front, order it from the manufacturer, slap a huge margin on it and then hand it to you sans Vaseline. Australia is also a tiny marketplace for high-end hi-fi and geographically isolated from the US and Europe. How is it you can land goods in Oz at a significantly lower price than you can land same in SA - we are being screwed, period. This is especially so when one considers that most times you're buying from an overseas retailer, let alone distributor/ agent that enjoys even more favourable pricing. [/QUOTE]
