Spread the wear over 5 kites and it takes a while to wear any one kite out.


It'd be good to adopt this same system with women


I dunno man.... imagine 5 crazy weeks in a month... That would be my own personal hell.

So yearly upgrades make no sense to me, but that's just my opinion. If I had a total failure (like my old 7m) I'd seriously consider the market then probably go with a year or two older model as well? call me stingy :D

How high are your wages vs. cost of living? If yer that well off shut yer moaning about prices :D
Seriously, wages are high here but so is cost of living, although interest rates are about 1% so people don't save or invest much. That means SOME things are retarded expensive -- kites etc are almost 100% over US RRP?!

Point being, "local" markets with their own pricing in this global age is idiotic IMO (Switch) and for what they are, kites seem grossly over-priced.

For us old hands? I'm sure we paid about the same when we started :D





Might I try, small relative population centers with large distances between them could also contribute to the cost blow out...and indeed cashed up mining bogans and also minings subsidiary businesses driving demand, I did hear the latest inflation figures are outside the reserve banks limits...maybe a slightly over heated economy? I know we have some of the least affordable housing in the developed world relative to income...and a silly stat, saw on our most trustworthy TV last night a cup of coffee is the third most expensive behind france and singapore...

not sure man, just fishing for the extra cost hey...

Still smells like BS to me - production costs don't alter depending on the destination, and shipping isn't that bad. Excuses to mark way the hell up?

Singapore is a whole other thing - and probably explains the situation: the market will support retarded prices (over-paid ex-pats don't think about paying any price whatsoever for coffee) because that's what people will pay. Vote with your wallet and bring a sense of normalcy back to the table

Another thing that bugs me - RRP. If that isn't the price you'd sell it for, why is it listed at that price? Why do I have to haggle, like the store's a back-street market in Bali? Yuck.
