From: "Bryan Murdock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Funny, a lot of people are starting to notice that a lot of business have one price for USA, and another much lower price for the same item in other countries. Microsoft is trying to sell its software for way less than it does here in Asian countries. Regionalized DVD's, the below article mentions prescription drugs. What next? How long will consumers in the global economy put up with it? Very interesting.
I don't view it as much of a scam. They are different markets with very
different members and different demand. I don't think our Global Market
is
really all that close; think of Bryan's salary compaired to that of an
Asian
farmer. This is why kids in San Francisco aren't complaining too much
cuz I
pay $2 less for my Lucky Charms in Denver.
