Local distributor plans to stop Amazon

What a loser.
A headphone selling at SGD$290 is being sold at $500 by this local Sinkie. And he attributed that to 'local marketing'? Do we see Monster headphones being advertised daily?

There's no way this can be stopped :
The NZ dollar is overvalued against the US dollar and I can buy most of my photographic accessories from the USA 40% to 50% cheaper.
To get past any geo restrictions on the server, I use VPN to connect to the shopping cart.
I then use a US address provided by NZ post for physical delivery which they then forward to me in NZ. http://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop
Average turnaround time is less than 10 days for the whole process.
There are many other options available eg http://buyusa.co.nz/ http://www.parcelzoom.com/ etc.

Why don't MONSTER distributor says...they are overcharging for their products..who the F care they pay for advertising??? if they cannot sell the products lower price that AMAZON..they should go back to MONSTER & negotiate for a better distribution margin.
In doing complaining about AMAZON , people will avoid buying MONSTER altogether...for we know their prices are FIX & they cannot reduce but try to FIX others, that charges cheaper, sound FAMILIAR??
Now this is news to me, if I need something that MONSTER have...I would look for a cheaper CHINA alternative..

You might as well ask why sinkies are flocking to buy Audis, Beemers and Mercs when a Toyota Corolla can do a cheaper and more reliable job of getting them from point A to B.
Not just Monster. Practically everything these days, especially branded clothes, electronics and household items, is available on Amazon for far lower prices than what our local shops are retailing.
And it's not only Amazon, which you can argue does not have bear advertising, marketing and rental costs. The brick-and-mortar stores in the big US cities are selling these products much cheaper than ours, and some of these products are actually made in Europe or Asia and exported to the States.
It doesn't makes sense. The States has higher wage and legacy costs, and rental overheads in big cities are similar if not higher than ours. National chains may have economies of scale, but the smaller ones don't.
So why are our retailers overcharging compared to stores in other countries?

Ultimately it boils down to rental cost. who controls property market?
In the context of Spore, businesses here have very high overheads: hi rentals, hi utilities, hi taxes, hi, hi, ....
I don't mind buying locally but if I can buy cheaper elsewhere why over pay
Unless you want local warranty, why bother paying almost double?
I agree with your view but try telling this to a loser Sinkie.
Oh btw, also try telling this, which border on something on the same line, to loser Yaukalt, the once in 50 years joker, who wants to stop ppl from telling the truth on-line on his kind. LOL .
This joker is exactly like the local agent joker, who sells Dahon folding bicycle.
Those who use $10 earphones have sinkie ears.
spending hundreds on headphones is ok...............problem is when you buy Monster and Dr Dre headphones.............they're glorified junk
