any wonder our retailers are struggling, page-32

I was in the states last year on work and went to a fishing shooting camping store for a look around. They had on sale a GPS for $1500 cheaper than available in OZ at the time. It was a higher featured one than I had even considered buying here.
So I bought it. Cost to me $1400. Loss to OZ $1400.

I also bought good nikes there for $50 and when I went to a clothing store I could choose between sizes for pants such as 32,33,34,35 36 etc. Here its usually 32 34 36 if you are lucky.

We are being conned.
