    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

      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.

        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

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

          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.
