Is it any wonder that Australians import something like the SR-007 themselves? You can buy two of them for the Australian price (taking into account customs charges), so who cares about a warranty?

I think I might have that price wrong, but yeah, some people are really getting beat up. The Europeans particularly.

The customers not so much in the US, but the dealers are only getting 20 points or so. Not much incentive for them.

Note that the yodobashi prices (before discount) are the msrp in japan. Same price is displayed / offered at the audio stores (such as dyna).

Web order prices are typically like what I have shown above (fujiya and dyna).

PriceJapan is very low, as if they're selling with virtually no margin ( because they don't have actual retail store like the others I suppose).

In lights of the prices I gave, retail in the us is pretty reasonable it seems (considering there has to be a distributor and such entity has operating costs...).

Not sure about sales volumes, I thought domestic sales were lower than export though.

One of the main problems of importing into Europe is that you have to pay VAT @20% and Duty 3% and just to add insult to injury they levy these charges on the postage and insurance cost as well !! So you need to factor in an uplift of between 25% to 30%, depending on country, you have to pay to the government before they will release the goods to you mad.png Then there are the payment costs as the banks or paypal take their slice by offering you crap exchange rates and make a $30 charge just for processing the payment.

complin: I've been away from France for too long, I've forgotten that the US and Japan have relatively low VAT compared to European countries. It's bound to increase in Japan (the prices I quoted include 5% local tax), but likely not in the 20% range...

Note to Tyll: you provably should account for local tax in your calculations, shouldn't you?

I think Australia has quite high GST as well 19% or more?
