I cant believe that in my country ryzen cpu prices are this high... A ryzen 5 2600is around 220-230euros while in Germany, and probably in every other country its under 170euros.

Have you checked pricespy and pcparkpicker? Its probably due to import taxes.

No offense but how can Hungarian people afford such high prices? I just looked it up and the average income in Hungary is 900 € per month.

 

I think the price should, therefore, be lower. However, then people from Germany could import the CPU from Hungary.

Actually I am a Hungarian who lives in Serbia? But yes, the avg. incomes are even lower than 900 euros, here in Serbia its around 400, so its really sad.

Maybe in your country there is no competition. For example, here in Spain the big website is www.pccomponentes.com and it follows Amazon's prices. If the 8700K is 430€ on Amazon, it will be 430€ on PcComponentes. Take a look at importing stuff to your country, or take a look at other products, since maybe it's not just computer components and it's because taxes.

Sadly there is no competition, there are 3 big retailers and thats it, the smaller stores have even higher prices

Once I bought football cleats from the UK the import taxes were 30%. The shoes were 140$, taxes and shipping were around 70-80$
