There is so much I loved about Brazil when I was there last year.
But prices are unbelievable My stepson has asked us to buy him some Carrera Aviator sunglasses, over here in Ireland (via ebay) ~€85 which is $R 206.978. In Brazil you are paying about $R 450 - 500 for a pair. An Xbox 360 is about 3x the price of it in Ireland I dread to think what music gear costs. And we think we get it pretty bad here in Ireland compared to the UK and especially the US -------------------- My SoundCloud

QUOTE (El Fortinero @ Apr 2 2012, 07:17 PM)  The problem is the distance. Products from Europe are expensive because of shipping issues, products from USA are not that expensive. For instance a xbox 360 costs something like 400 usd. it also depends where you buy it. Instruments and gear are quite overrated, eg: a100 watts mesa boogie rectifier costs 3000 usd in here!!!  yeah... another example is the AXE FX II that costs US$4600 here...

Electronics are pretty cheap in the states. You can get a basic xbox new for
$200 U.S. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Microsoft+-+Xb...p;skuId=1162184 for $400 U.S. you can get the super deluxe model with kinect kit. But yeah, some things are alway crazy like a TRIPLE RECTIFIER  Elec QUOTE (El Fortinero @ Apr 2 2012, 06:17 PM) The problem is the distance.
