My comment refers to controlling market prices globally to the benefit of the manufacturer... a practice which if it happened within Australia for an Australian manufacturer would be illegal... so in my opinion, grey market imports offer individuals the opportunity to cut across this practice - and may in the long run bring it to an end. Rodda As far as us being overcharged for Aussie landed stuff - that's a different arguement, and I like everyone else will always wish they were cheaper... P.S. The markup is not just by the retailers, in fact they probably make a lower % makup than the distributors, who in turn pay whatever the manufacturers tell them to. Everyone needs to make some money for their part in this chain of events, otherwise they would simply cease to exist (and you need all of them to do their part - unless you plan on making the products yourself)... I agree, it's not the retailers making huge margins - being the difference between Australian supply and grey market supply, but it is still the Australian public who pays. My drill example may realise the retailer a profit of $40. But the manufacturer would make over $300.

Not a huge range... http://www.theelectricdiscounter.com.au ... fault1.asp Re: Buying TVs online - recommendations ? 11Apr 27, 2009 11:39 am Has anyone bought a tv from Catchoftheday, I'mw ondering if the warranty they offer is genuine. A salesguy from a retailer told me, although the websites claim warranty, if u called Samsung with the serial number, they wouldnt actually acknowldge the warranty, since they could be imported ones. Did anyone buy a samsung the last time from COTD last time, do you if the manufacturer accepts the warranty on your tv? Re: Buying TVs online - recommendations ? 12Apr 27, 2009 1:31 pm Another option is to look at the best deals that people are getting on the model you're interested in, at places like: http://hdtvprices.pbwiki.com/ http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?show ... start=6360 and then use these prices and scanned receipts that people post to get your local retailer to price match or discount. The prices you see on the links above are usually from big retailers so people in other locations get pretty good results from going to their local retail outlet and getting them to compare with what is available elsewhere. Re: Buying TVs online - recommendations ? 13Apr 28, 2009 4:03 pm Check these prices out http://www.digitalcentre.com.au I'd say if you can haggle with the local bing lee guy to get a price like that you would be laughing.. Those prices are what everyone should be aiming to get.

I bought one, but I haven't had to use the warranty, so I have no idea if it would be accepted or not.
