yes, pretty much so. Not as heavily in every single country but you know what i mean
Yeah everything’s cheaper in the u.s for some reason
Argentine here… Yeah…
risk and insurance.
You do the logistics, this also costs money (placing the order and following it)
its also a high end product. So they are glad to upcharge even more.
Taxes
Americans trying to justify the ridiculously cheap prices of pc components at the US: “tAxEs”
same thing here in israel.
i almost stopped buying anything that isn’t perishable or super heavy
a 4090 costs Rs 214000 in india, the cheapest one, thats about 2550$, fuck me
Because Americans are idiots that like to not include VAT and pretend they pay less somehow.
Yes, it’s overpriced. **Everywhere**.
Not so good in EU either, compared to US.
Import duties on electronics can be 40% in SA.
cheapest 4090 on wootware costs R40000? 20k less than youre ones
Same in Israel, markup is stupid.
In the EU youre probably about as cheap as in the US, but in second world countries you really get the short end of the stick.
I’m in the EU and the same applies here, the only difference is that our import fees are **absurd** so importing from the US is even worse
Same in Australia, its supposedly due to tax and import fees.
4090s can be easily found at 40k in south africa. Still terrible pricing but that’s about how much you’ll pay elsewhere
# ASUS Rog Strix Geforce RTX 4090 White OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card (Pcie 4.0, 24Gb Gddr6X, HDmi 2.1A, Displayport 1.4A) pci_e_x16
This one costs about 3267 us dollars in India.The product shown in image costs around 2800-2900 $ approx.
Look, egypt up
Here it’s double the price if you are lucky.
Supply and demand? Place where its made? Shipping costs from factory to country. Like if I have an order of 100 million to america vs 5 million to South Africa? Lots of factors?
Similar issue is Australia, I did the maths and if I had someone in Japan then I could bring 4090s into aus and resell for nearly 500aud profit including tax and shipping
99% of the worlds problems could be fixed if humans weren’t so greedy. There’s no reason this should cost anywhere near that. They could cut the price by 50+% and they’d still make a profit. Most things are significantly overpriced just because they can be, it’s sad.
In Australia, a typical 4090 costs about 3.5k AUD here – which is 2.3k USD, almost 500 USD higher than it should be even adjusting for around $70 of postage
While this is generally true, take into account that Takealot has more expensive prices than the tech focused retailers like Wootware or Progenix. The margin difference gets quite a bit smaller if you compare it with tech retailers.
It’s akin to comparing Microcenter to Starbucks (if they sold GPUs). Starbucks would most likely have atrocious pricing in comparison.
The same Gigabyte GPU at Wootware (Kinda the “Microcenter” of South Africa) is about R47 000 which is roughly $2489 USD. Still expensive, but much better than Takealot pricing will ever get you.
Cheapest 4090 in hungary costs 820.000 huf which is roughly 2250$. Sounds fair
Man that’s a mess of a diagram ffs
Supply and demand.
Only a few people can afford a RTX4090 in Africa etc. and the very few who can afford it don’t really worry about the price
I’m in Australia and although PC parts are generally decently priced, the 4090 is about $2000 USD (~3000 AUD), about $400 USD more than MSRP.
Here in Brazil the RTX 4090 is arround R$ 13.000 which is $2592,02… Remember the “Minimum” wage here is $241…
If it’s a direct conversion its literally a Year of work without wasting ANY of your wage to buy one
