I wouldn't say that, usually it's $100 or so, literally 30% is an incredibly markup for a $3000 USD device. Throw a 4K screen in, and it'll be cheaper to fly to

You are wrong. Check the prices of Apple stuff in Argentina or even France. Hell, in Chile it's 20% more (and it was 100% more in the past, has gotten better now). Cheers.

  I'd post some comparisons, but it doesn't even exist on the Chile store. Crazy.

  Isn't this the before-tax and after-tax incorrect comparison?

  Chile has a 19% VAT.

As far back and PowerBooks and my LC630 it was cheaper for me to fly from Australia to the US, buy one and spend a week there. It's always been the case.

  Technically there is duty owed when you bring something back worth more than $1,000... At the moment the difference between the MacPros is $1,000. So if I bought it in the states after currency conversion I might save $750 or something. I would need to bring a lot of them back to cover my flight. Plus then I might get stung at customs and owe 10% of the total value anyway.
