</div>Don't forget that price in the US has never shown tax inclusive.<br>
While in Oz they are.<br>
10% GST, shipping, all adds up<br>
<br>
$260 is pretty good is US price is $150<br>
<div></div></blockquote><div><br>While possibly a loophole there is no sales tax in the US when ordering online interstate. So while it would be more at fry's/other local store, at newegg the price they have is the price you pay.<br>
<br> So $150 usd is about $190 aud... add 10% for GST and you're only at $210. Considering the boards are made in asia they aren't shipping them to the US and then here, so shipping to get it in shoudl actually be less.<br>
<br>Compare this to apple who (typically) just takes:<br>-US price * currency * 1.10 + rounded to nearest $50 even.<br></div></div><br>
