No no, the retail stores charge a lot lol, there are places such as msy.com.au that sell things for about what it would normally cost, they have SWEET prices and I don't have to pay for shipping either.

The macs compared to the us are about this roughly:
US $2,499 - AUD - $3,599
that's overpriced by a heck of a lot, if you use xe.com to convert, its works out roughly
US $2,499 - AUD - $2,799 + shipping.

Apple need to lower their prices.

Hardware in retail stores is very overpriced though. 1TB harddrives don't seem to be - I dunno why, they are about $250 for 7,200 rpm which is about $230 USD (roughly)

Meh.. usually B&H photo is good to buy from, we got 2 creative zen vision:m 's for less than the price of one in Australia.

B&H FTW!

Agreed, when I get my company set up, I don't plan on doing that, just looking at it, I looks greedy - I wouldn't allow it.

I think the shops that sell apple products want to get profit so Apple offers it at the same price online(as if the apple store online were to offer it for cheaper, nobody would buy from the shops,) maybe thats why - so they dont have to set up many apple stores over here

Main problem is the import taxes & customs duties which applies on products which are being imported from USA to your/my country.
