Dutch hardware prices.

Paralectic

Hi everyone, I have something what makes me a bit.. well I can't find a right word for it.

 

Whenever I look at Amazon, NewEgg,  Massdrop or any website selling hardware and such I see such great deals like everytime.

And here in Europe, The Netherlands this case I hardly find ANY sales at all, everything sells at full price and even if it's on sale it's more expensive than the US price + taxes and some extra.

 

Everywhere in the US you can get everything for cheap but here we pay more without a reason ( with the tax calculated and such ).

Also ironic, stuff from Asia gets shipped to the USA and to Europe and it's still cheaper in the USA while it's cheaper for them to ship to where I live.

 

That's it for today, I hate paying so much for my hardware when it's cheaper elsewhere. bye

worse for us ~ a lot of stuff is made in Asia and Asian countries have to pay 1.5-2.5 times the price in US markets.

You guys can see a doctor when you want to without worrying about missing a house payment to cover the bill. You can suck up the higher tech prices. :P

 

its not that bad...

... soon it will be worse. For everyone. But mostly for `murica with no tax :)

 

 

And that's what happens with 200+ years of land grabbing and screwing over the people who were on this country first. :V

We've got legal weed, good cheese and good healthcare I agree ( except for the dentist, that's expensive ).

But I'm always healthy and I want cheap technology lol.

Don't complain until you see Australia prices.

Convicts decendants deserve to pay for their grandfathers sins :P

But in australia, if you are not rich, you better buy used hardware i guess.

Most european countries are pretty much built on the backs of vikings.
