Oh yeah, I've done similar with joggers. Until I had my accident and needed comfortable shoes, KT26 was the only brand name I had. I looked at those Nike Shox things, the cheapest I found was about $299 for basic black ones. Went onto eBay, and from US they were $129 plus about $40 shipping from the states, arrived in 3 days. Again. Retailers greed. But I guess when you look at the overheads, wages, rent, bills, insurances, freight that actual shops pay, versus an online shop, or eBay advert, it's easy to see why online can sell so much cheaper.

How about this. The new apple and windows operating systems are both half the price in the US compared to Australia. You can buy these products online. If you go to the US website, you get a different price to the Australian site. Same deal with all apple products. A iphone 5 64 gig is half the price it is in Aus, in the US.
