O.k. not insane in the good way.
I'm actually seeking an explanation to what seems like ludicrous prices I'm finding in Australian climbing shops compared to overseas.
There might be a very good reason and I'm just being to dense to see it.
I've used the U.K. for my case study simply because that's where I've been based. Without naming any stores I'll give you some examples.
All conversions are to current rates.
Black diamond drop zone crash pad Uk price £159=$264. Aus price $439
5;10 Anasazi Verde UK price £79=$131. Aus price $230
Wild Country technical friend size 3 UK price £57=$94. Aus price $140
Now, that can't just be freight surely. that's $200 freight on a 4kg crash pad!
I've found the same to be true with Mammut, Arcteryx, la sportiva, ect. ect.
Can anybody please correct my ignorance, or at least direct me to an Aus climbing shop that won't charge me an arm and a leg for a ball of chalk. |
