Beware..this is a RANT


I dont know about you guys but im fed up to the back teeth with getting reamed by Australian Arms of multinational corps..so much so that I sent a email to Epson regarding their pricing policy of high end photo printer ( because I want one :))

The printer is the Epson R3880
heres my email

"Hi
Just wondering why the Americans can buy a R3880 printer for $889 US and we Aussies with a stronger Dollar are still paying $1990... !!
seems like price gouging to me ?dont you realise if you dropped the price people would buy more of these units ?its no wonder buyers are buying OS

regards
Steve"

their reply..and I must admit I was amazed I even got a reply :rolleyes:

"Thank you for contacting Epson Support.

We review our prices against competitor products with similar specifications to ensure that we are not pricing beyond market expectations.

We do not consider the prices in other countries of similar Epson products when setting Australian prices. Our prices are based on costs incurred by Epson Australia in delivering this product to market.



Regards

Epson Customer Support"

so bascily we will continue to rip you off because we can !!..also I cant even buy one from B&H..because of a import deal epson have that precludes grey importing their gear.. sometimes it sucks to be a Aussie :eek: ]]> Tommo1965 http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?120718-The-Australian-Tax-!!

Took this at Kangaroo Valley on Easter Monday while paddling a canoe for my fly fisho mate.
He had just about called it a day when I spotted this little guy on the opposite bank so off we paddled.
As for almost all my shots of late, it's another bum first shot but hey we were floating in a canoe and he actually came towards us so I wasn't about to risk spooking him by trying to manouvre to a better spot.

Ideally lighting, pose and host of other things could have been better but I was chuffed just to get a number of shots away.
We sat and watched this little guy scoping the shallow water then in an instant he smashed into the water, came up and flew off with lunch in his mouth, was pretty excited to see that as well.

Perish the thought - but it is true.
