bikes. Bikes can cost hundreds different compared to exchange rates(both present and within the year) just because they are sold in Europe or Australia or the US or Canada. Furthermore, i cant buy from one of those overseas stores.
same thing as what you are ranting about.
also, I wouldn't call most of this 'defending'. Its simply responding without emotion by citing reasons and historical precedence.
I dont like being cut off from lower prices for the same item, but I am able to understand with and dont think it's unique to a specific company.
