The thing is prices in Taiwan are cheaper on Japanese items than they
are in the US. The same goes for HK pricing. When I lived in Japan it
wasn't uncommon that, when I was working in in HK or Taiwan, I would
stock up on Japanese stuff I liked because it was so much cheaper.
Now in the US the prices are close to Japanese retail when purchased as
"wholesale" so they are decidedly higher than even Japan retail and
almost double HK or Taiwan pricing. This is most annoying for US collectors.
