Rg1570 Hunt Is Driving Me Crazy. Options

[vampire18]

help. i dont understand anymore.
im looking to buy a lefty rg1570 prestige. im looking everywhere and sometime this gutiar is listed as original cost
1300$ somtimes its listed 800 dollars somtimes it comes in blue or bk sometimes it comes in red or black>
one person listed it on ebay as costing 1300 and one says it cost him new 800. and they are all talking about the prestige that is made in japan

can anyone help me get some sense of what it is that makes this search so crzy?

I not sure if I understand you correctly but there is the mrp (manufacturers recommended price, what the manufacturer "recommends" the shops to charge) and then there is the usually lower street price, what shops actually charge. And about 800, one can get the rg1570 for about 800 EURO, but I doubt you can get it for 800 US Dollars. Although the price differences between countries can be quite huge. Prices in America are often about 30% lower than in than in Europe. I've got no Idea about Israel tough.

Hope that helps,
Jonas

Those 1300$ are the mrp. In europe that recommendation is 985€. But it retails for 850€ or something. 1300/800 seems to be quite a huge different. So maybe it's b ware or something like that. You can see an example of this here:

Depends where your from. If your from Canada (like me) you'll find that everything has almost doubled in price since the dollar when to crap.
