Prices in the Netherlands suck!

I've done a bit of research on comparing US prices to Dutch prices, and I took a Zotac GeForce GTX 980 Ti Amp! edition

on pcpartpicker it says it's $615,99. Then I look on a Dutch price compare website and it says it's €687,09 which, when translated to dollar is $783,90, which is a huge difference!

I know there is things as import tax (which I hate) and transport costs but still, a difference of $167,91 which is insane! I could buy a good motherboard or cpu for that!

Prices in NL suck? Heh. Come over on a trip to Greece and check the prices here. Mostly the same or more expensive, with the small difference of wages being at least 3 times lower ;)

You should stop complaining ... have a look at Australia. So a 980ti is around 600USD right? it sells well over 1100AUD which is 843 USD ...

I'm not trying to complain I'm just trying to point out the massive price differences, it justt so happens that I took The Dutchlands as example, because I live there.

I'm pretty sure most US prices tend to be without VAT. That's an auto 21% increase for us, add to that the actual cost of transport, import taxes, etc. We're getting a great deal really.

You think prices in the Netherlands suck? Come to fucking iceland, the cheapest reference cooler 980 ti you can get at any store here costs 150000isk or 1200$ and if you want to get a nice one that doesn't sound like a fucking jet engine it will cost you 160000isk or 1300$. Some of us have it way fucking worse than you do mate. I'm salty as fuck.

 

Actually i think i beat all of you. ya'll motherfuckers need to stop complaining. Iceland is the pinnacle of awful prices.

you know what, I live on Mars and when I want a 980Ti I have to pay for the whole spacemission, which comes down to around 4 billion$ so stop complaining. (YES, I won the high price war)

to game or not to game, that`s the question

Haha, this is not place for factories mate. This place is a wasteland populated by 300k people. I might have to poplate this place myself and make those fuckers work, although there are no natural resources here except fish. Child labour? Fuck yeah!?

Child labor is always the answer, it helped for Hitler (for the most part lel).

But in all seriousness, smuggle some if you dare and sell them there :P

Yer lucky you dont have to pay 770€ for a "low-tier" 980ti. Thats the way here in sweden.

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but you dont know why. In this computer, theory and practice are combined: Nothing works and i dont know why.

 

Atleast i can manage Some things, like my current OC personal best.

We have much higher pay overall though. Average wage is like 20k higher than the US and so on.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
