I paid A$1,189.00 for the 1TB OLED one, Valve will be selling it for A$ 1,049.00. To me, that wasn’t a huge difference, especially considering there was no indication Valve was ever going to sell it here.
You obviously never heard of taking advantage of such a situation. multiple $100 more is more than the import costs. Can’t believe how you are sympathizing with the scam prizes.
No one forces you to buy from them, they are providing a service of convenience. If you think their prices are a “scam” you can take the time, effort and money to import one yourself
This has nothing to do with forcing to buy. Scam prices are prices, because they take advantage of a situation in need and inflate them for more profit. And defending any scammer makes you part of the problem. I grew up with imports of videogames since the 90s and know this kind of problem well.
My reply was about your nonsense sympathizing reply:
those sellers should just eat the import duty and sell it at a loss
Which you fabricated it for god knows what reasons. It is not about selling it at a loss, dumbass. Man people are sometimes stupid.
Luckily we’ve had grey imports for a while that were pretty much only a few $100 more.
“a few hundred more” for a device that only costs a few hundred to begin with seems a rather hefty premium to pay, and calling that “lucky”.

I got lucky and only paid a bit more than RRP, but you pretty much had to sit around and wait for a deal.
Those sellers should be ashamed to charge few $100 more and taking advantage of this situation.
Yeah, those sellers should just eat the import duty and sell it at a loss, just so people in Australia can get it for the same price
