Apart from other things I've purchased from O/S lately I purchased Bilstein shock absorbers for my Pajero. AUD$555 including a $125 airfreight component. The closest price for the same shocks in Australia is $880.00

There's a hand held automotive programming device available in the US for $USD379.00. That same device with different firmware (the same unit, no hardware changes) cost $695.00

Someone mentioned warranty. Easy. Box the item up and send it back. You may have to pay freight one way. Big deal.
So, as you work in the construction industry you have no problem with bringing in tradesmen and labourers from overseas and paying them half of what you get while you are sacked on the spot with no recourse?

Or is that different?
