How Come...

On amazon.com I have to pay $38.99 for it but on amazon.co.uk
I have to pay £65.59 which is $119.884, my point is how come
americans get things a whole lot cheaper? <_<

different countries have different prices have different taxes have different everything, buy it at the cheapest place, get busy and move on &#33;

Everyone should pay the same...

no, that wouldn&#39;t be good &#33;

The dollar is stronger?

Same reason everything else is cheap everywhere but the uk :rolleyes:

Did you know that Off-Liscence shops have 300% Duty on a bottle of wine?
Think about it like this
They buy it for £2, they put profit on (approx15% on wine) £2.30 , then the duty = £9.20 for this bottle of wine which should have cost you less than £3, yet in France you&#39;ll get the same bloody thing for about 50p <_<
Basically we in the uk just get hammered for tax on everything, I&#39;ve spoken to people in other countries and I mentioned road tax........They don&#39;&#39;t have it&#33; <_<

We the British people are just scammed the whole time and aparently the UK is in debt............HOW?? <_<

Ok I&#39;m gonna be swearing about this all day now :angry:
