Comments on: Australian Still Pay More for Our Macs http://blog.ozbargain.com.au/2008/australian-still-pay-more-for-our-macs/ Because we are cheap Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:32:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Carolina Tillett http://blog.ozbargain.com.au/2008/australian-still-pay-more-for-our-macs/comment-page-1/#comment-14570 Carolina Tillett Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:21:34 +0000 http://blog.ozbargain.com.au/?p=494#comment-14570 Yes Apple dropped the price of the Apple TV here in Australia, but not in the USA. You can get around the sales tax in the USA by ordering from companies out of state like amazon. What I have noticed is that every time a new Apple product is released Apple is narrowing the price spread, mostly by increasing the US prices. While we are overcharged here in Australia, it is no where as bad as in Europe. Carolina Yes Apple dropped the price of the Apple TV here in Australia, but not in the USA.

They did drop the price- but it's still more expensive here http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/08/apple_tv_gets_a_price_drop.html Did the study include gst? as sales tax in the USA is normally on top of quoted price Maybe Apple Australia has dropped the price by $120 over the last few days?
