HD38x0 price gouging in Australia

[randomizer]

I had to go find my jaw after doing a price search. I don't think aussie etailers understand the meaning of $1US = $0.9AU approx.

Well, the links don't work unless you take out the first part, but...yeah. Those are the facts of life. It is too bad the people think they can jack up the price because you guys(aussie, uk, etc.) are not stateside.

Sorry, I don't know whats up with this forum, it likes to screw with the links, I'll fix em.

EDIT: Doesn't like you naming links, it adds that garbage on the front.

Tell me about it, I was thinking about buying a lappy when I come to ANU next year but the prices are weird, many things are cheaper here in Pakistan and we are a third world country
Then again everything is smuggled here anyway

The Office of Fair Trading needs to look into these ridiculous prices seriously.
