    Thats shocking and having to pay similar prices to US is insane.
    So you want to price goods according to the buying capacity of the population in the geographic location? What did you smoke today?

    Prices of goods are not going to change according to geographic location ever but just saying its more expensive for us to afford paying such prices since we earn alot less.

    The cost of making the product didn't change. So why should the company take a loss just because our small market can't "afford it" according to you? If you earn so much less you should re-evaluate your hobby.

    And our earnings is as skewed as can be. You should take into account the Purchasing power parity. You should also re-investigate your household income stat.
