You know what, a lot has been said about the prices surrounding GPU’s and PC hardware in SA in general so what I’m going to do is just highlight a few pointers to blatantly point out how these prices are really just absolute nonsense no matter how much they try to explain or justify it.
Firstly: Alot has been said about the retailers using the RRP as the base to import, which we all know is inaccurate they pay much less for the card when they originally buy it in Taiwan. Yet when we as the public buy from Amazon or Newegg at the actual RRP we still end up paying less by far then the retailer sells it for here in SA despite the fact that we also have to pay all those costs you use to justify the price, e.g. The ACTUAL RRP + VAT (14%) + Custom Duties (+- 8%) + Transportation (+- 2%), explain that to me please?
Secondly: This is how crazy that price is blown up if reversed: RRP – $199 translates to R6000 apparently aka $416, more than double the US selling price, How, explain?
