    Arrow 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:
    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fire-...650097148.html

    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.
