Say its all about taxes, but I think it's too much. Products sold in the US are also imported and have taxes as well as sales tax but didnt cost as high as priced by local distributors. May be they want to make much money to those who have no idea on its retail price in other country.
its not all about huge profit. Resellers here have to factor in some kind of budget for aftersales service expenses.
Yes, makakamura ka if you import yourself, but what if kung lemon yung unit? Of course youll bear the grunt of the expenses by sending it back in the US or buying another one na lang. But if you buy it from a reseller here, you do expect to have some kind warranty or aftersale service. Of course, thats what added price is for, plus the regular profit.
I do import some of my stuff myself. Pikit mata na lang....hehehe.
