Why the Mark Ups in Price
Was looking at prices for the same reel on the web on various JDM sites and I cant help but to wonder WHY the prices differences can someone please explain?

Japan lure shop $359 + shipping - vision 110 gift
Amazon Japan $402 shipped and taxed
Plat $407 free shipping
When I was in Japan 2019, prices had BIG variation locally as well. Bit of a shocker was they add VAT at the counter like in the US (8% at the time). Big stores could do the paper work for me leaving Japan to spare me the VAT. Still it was cheaper to get the Antares A from Amazon to the hotel including VAT than at the cheapest shop without VAT. Ended up paying €370 / $392 dodging customs at the airport back in Germany (would have been 23,4% in import tax on top)
Bantam MGL €230 / $244
The international online sellers vary just as much, the cheapest I found being Japan lure shop. Their prices usually match the cheapest Japanese domestic online shops.
If you’re sure your customs will charge you with import taxes where you live, Amazon jp is a great seller as they handle everything for you, charge you the final price including import tax and drop the Japanese VAT in the checkout process. Plus deliver in 4 days via express. At least that’s our experience in Europe.

Re: Why the Mark Ups in Price
Anyone thought about their individual buying power (shop size and turnover) and their pricing structures relevant to who they buy from?
I mean I work for a composites firm and the local waterproofing bloke gets a different price as to the larger boat builders buy at, as they are negotiating pricing tiers individually.
RRP and all that isnt stable.
Just a thought.
