Thread: Labels are funny things...

Funny how much prices can vary for what appears to be exactly the same product! One example I noticed tonight (prices including shipping)...

Less than $5 from aliexpress:

Add a Macpac label and its $13:
Gas Canister Stand | Macpac NZ

But say its for a Jetboil (looks like you don't even have to put the label on it) and you can charge $25!
Jetboil Tripod Gas Canister Stabiliser | Trade Me

So many similar examples around, the sad thing is how many people probably have no idea how much money they're wasting. Maybe I should delete this post and start importing gear to sell myself.

Motorbike accessories are the same, from $175 to $465 for the same product.

Try JP Racing front brake pads for a New GTS 6.2 manual

$180 for a set from JP aussie, or $450 here in NZ from your Holden dealer.

Not as bad as a titanium micro burner, $120 is through Macpac less than $15 off aliexpress same cooker just a different name on the side

But remember it's never price gouging, they have significant costs and risks, doncha know...
