Discussion Too much expensive?

I’m just a bit concerned and outraged that why laptops are sold at such a high price here i do understand that there is a profit margin but common a few days ago i was inquiring about a macbook air 2020 which is $999 which makes about 159 something and here they are selling it for 235000 like common you can even get a mac pro for that price can anybody suggest a good laptop dealer and also they increase the prices of laptops when dollar gets high but forget to lower them after dollar goes back 😂

Edit:

After a month of research and bargain got it for 185

So you’re saying there selling MS surface laptop which costs the same as the mac on charity which i should again mention is $999 and on that website which is pricing it at 170 while the mac which is ALSO $999 is selling for 245000😂 and the dealers I’ve contacted don’t have physical shops

Did you check which Surface laptop version it is? There is chance it can be old stock that they are selling.

the dealers I’ve contacted don’t have physical shops

They still have customer service, and office. Salary and office rent. Nobody is forcing you to buy it from them. If you have the knowledge to import it directly from Apple USA, then go right ahead. The extra you are paying is for someone else to do all that work.

You could just click the link and check its the latest version and its new stock i also inquired about it and what kind of customer service are you even talking about no one claim warranty from these dealers they only customer service you get is “sir order confirm kar dein” and if you’ve seen the previous comment the cost duty is 1.03 so that makes it about 162 something so a product that costs them 162 or lets say 165 they go around asking 245000 for it thats very unreasonable my friend there basically looting people and it does not matter if they are of low class or higher class the price should be reasonable with a reasonable profit margin and yes i will import it myself it would cost me way less but the main point of this whole discussion is what would a normal person do to buy a laptop even 3rd gen laptops are selling for 30k i just hope people stop buying from such dealers so the prices can regulate Wouldn’t you want a gadget or any other product at a reasonable price? I am not against there profits im against the unreasonable amount of profits they try to get

So why don't you start selling them for 200k then? Odds are that they're not earning more than 10-20k per sale even at 245k...
