I wasn't thinking of importing one, just annoyed at the price difference. I can't see any reason Australian prices should be more than 20% cheaper than here.
NZ price NZ$799 inc GST (15%)
= NZ$ 694 (ex GST)
Convert to AUD @ $0.95 = AUD$659 ex GST (
Australian GST is 10% so the ex-GST price for MS-3 here in Australia is $635.
That makes the NZ price a princely sum of $24 more expensive than AU. A whopping 3.7% increase (seems reasonable to me)
What neither Rockshop or Roland have control over is how much the AU retailers choose to discount products. It's freakin mental over here. The tight margins these stores are operating on in Australia is ridiculous.... hence why smaller stores are falling over on a monthly basis.
I applaud Rockshop for advertising at what is (I believe) a very reasonable price for a killer product.
Of course you can ask for a discount and I'm sure they will put a smile on your face..
