Never underestimate the bling factor of an object everyone sees you in ;) Anyway, most countries have import taxes (customs tax + VAT in Serbia is paid on both shipping cost and item cost), so while some items are still cheaper to get abroad, getting a 33.90GBP raspberry pi for me would add 12 GBP for shipping, and then 30% of 45.90GBP, or another 13 GBP for a total of 59 GBP: not so cheap anymore. Items from China are similar, and with COVID, shipping charges are frequently bigger than the item cost itself (you get a small $10 item, with a total coming out to like $31). But I'd definitely like to see a move towards higher standards of production, but they are hard to standardize across the world.
