Re: UKNM: Boo.com - UK price rip offs

[James Downes]

Isn't this about that phrase "what the market will bear" The UK market

has for many years accepted higher prices (not really sure why) and this

is buillt into everyone's perception. I like many others are looking to

the Internet to break down these price differentials and am disappointed

with the many online vendors who are retaining "local" pricing policies.

I suspect however the the greater sophistication of UK Internet users

will force the issue.


I suspect that this is already happening in the software market where UK

vendors are being bypassed and people are buying from the US directly

either for download (avoiding any customs issues) or shipped where there

are still savings to be made.
