Maybe your pricing should be reduced to the USA pricing instead of accepting being taken advantage of? I don't buy your arguement. However if you want to overpay than so be it.
And your negative attitude is based on what evidence?
To take one example -- the FA50 price in Canada has gone up 50%. That might look like a lot, and it is...but it brings it to the same price it's been selling in the UK forever. Before the increase you were getting a steal due to the generous and beneficent wisdom of the glorious Pentax and their love for all things Canadian.
Now they've decided to be fair.
Originally posted by equinox I can take a quick hop across the border and buy in Buffalo, bring back what I want, pay the duty and still save big $$$. Visit friends there at the same time as my American friends are some of the best people on the planet.
And my Canadian friends are some of the best people on the planet. This has no relevance to Pentax I am sure.
