Even in Japan you only have to look at prices of American stuff to realise that they are higher than quite a few places in the world. True you can say local tax, shipping etc sometimes can drive up prices. If you compare prices for the CE Turbo 35BL or Protrak chargers (as an example) in Japan they are horrific!!!

In general, prices in the country in which the product is made will be lower than elsewhere (not always though!). However, the internet is breaking a lot of these barriers down and I think this is a good thing!!
good say dtm !
