Could you just put in "Notes"/"Special instructions" say if I was buying a $800 video card or something, "Can you say this was $10 or just not put the price on the box at all" or do they have to mark correct price to export?

customs routinely inspect all parcels coming into australia for contraband etc but also for UNDER-DECLARED value. You risk being made to pay the extra amount anyhow plus a penalty or having it confiscated and destroyed. Generally, overseas sellers wont do it as it will make their parcels prime targets in the future.

Just shows you what their selfish, greedy standards are.

Why should I support local businesses that price gouge? I've worked in retail, the markup on products is insane, especially software.

or it shows you that you totally miss the point.

I'm happy to buy local, if they charge a fair mark up for their products. That doesn't mean they should be allowed to rip of their staff either. 300 to 1000% markup is not fair by any stretch of the imagination

a stupid decision that will change absolutely nothing for local retailers, raise nothing in effective revenue and annoy everybody.

only COAG could come up with something so astonishingly pointless.

Ah, Grasshopper - I see your couple of days in the punishment barrel have worked wonders...

Keep up the good work.....
