Hardware "It's going to be $8000, right?"

[Shikkichu]

It's actually Mexican pesos
Translates to about double the price
8000 dollars would be insane

Isn't shipping to Mexico something insane? My friend in Argentina ordered a 600$ prebuilt gaming pc, she has to pay 1100$ usd total because shipping

Yeah, one time Chary (the reporter, not tagging her because she has nothing to do with this) convinced me into buying Lion bars
Guess how much the shipping was
Or rather, would've been

Why is it $10k 0_o

 

[BlueFox gui]

Ill get you a switch!

A 3 dollar light switch of course!

i did not understand

 

[lordkaos]

Why is it $10k 0_o

it's 10,000 MXN pesos, which is equal to about $500 U.S. Dollars, I would guess $100 US Dollars for importing fees and transportation and the other $100 is the store's profit margin.

Well the Drump reinstated the import tax. The import tax goes by weight, type of item, ease of production and other complicated factors. Usually it equals 10%, 20%, 25% and/or even a whopping 40ish % of what the item's MSRP or RRP or RSP, which ever is higher. Not sure if this applies to both the manufacturers and Reseller

the import tax has always been the same, you get charged import fees for all electronics above $50 Dollars if i remember correctly, I imported a PS3 5 years ago and I had to pay about the equivalent of $60 U.S. Dollars, and also the import taxes for importing things to Mexico goes for the Mexican Government so I don't know what he have to do with this.

Hmmm... Do somebody know about prices as low in Germany?
(hmmm... the shipping from France should not be so expensive)

This one WEIRD trick will let you get a neon Switch without having to search or buy from scalpers.

Spoiler: Click here to find out how

Buy a regular grey Switch and just buy the neon joycon separate.

Thing is, it's in stock.
And I'm pretty sure both are the same price
