Interestingly I have seen a source of arbitrage in the music/pro audio gear space. If I (in US) go to Thomann music (Germany) many non US origin goods are between 50-80% of the US MAP. Part of this seems to be exchange rate related but it also looks like a company like Thomann has more leverage on price. Even paying the flat 30 Euro shipping and 5-10 dollar foreign currency fee I save about 20-40%. That part infuriates me to the point Im tempted to start an import business. I’m not going to, but MAP is just price fixing with a nicer name.
