Those sellers should be ashamed to charge few $100 more and taking advantage of this situation.

Yeah, those sellers should just eat the import duty and sell it at a loss, just so people in Australia can get it for the same price

/s

You obviously never heard of taking advantage of such a situation. multiple $100 more is more than the import costs. Can't believe how you are sympathizing with the scam prizes.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

No one forces you to buy from them, they are providing a service of convenience. If you think their prices are a "scam" you can take the time, effort and money to import one yourself

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah exactly, don't want to pay that price? Sort it yourself. Everyone that complained about the price of shit needs to understand this.

[–] thingsiplay 1 points 3 weeks ago

This has nothing to do with forcing to buy. Scam prices are prices, because they take advantage of a situation in need and inflate them for more profit. And defending any scammer makes you part of the problem. I grew up with imports of videogames since the 90s and know this kind of problem well.

My reply was about your nonsense sympathizing reply:

those sellers should just eat the import duty and sell it at a loss

Which you fabricated it for god knows what reasons. It is not about selling it at a loss, dumbass. Man people are sometimes stupid.

A hundred more on a thousand dollar device sounds exactly like the 10% duty we pay on things we import
