  Luckily we’ve had grey imports for a while that were pretty much only a few $100 more.

    I got lucky and only paid a bit more than RRP, but you pretty much had to sit around a wait for a deal.

    “a few hundred more” for a device that only costs a few hundred to begin with seems a rather hefty premium to pay, and calling that “lucky”.

      I paid A$1,189.00 for the 1TB OLED one, Valve will be selling it for A$ 1,049.00. To me, that wasn’t a huge difference, especially considering there was no indication Valve was ever going to sell it here.

    Those sellers should be ashamed to charge few $100 more and taking advantage of this situation.

      Yeah, those sellers should just eat the import tax and sell it at a loss, just so people in Australia can get it for the same price

        You obviously never heard of taking advantage of such a situation. multiple $100 more is more than the import costs. Can’t believe how you are sympathizing with the scam prizes.
