Why are you saying it's the importer that's greedy??? I don't disagree, many are, but what about the wholesalers & retailers.
My example above with the water filter cartridges that I sell. I sell them for $7ea retail & for orders of 1000pcs or more I sell them for $4.20ea. The wholesaler / retaler that buys 1000 from me at $4.20 is retailing the same cartrdge for $48ea.
Many retailers will use similar price strategies......
As Kawasuki says, we have different costs here. I agree with that as well, But just using my example, I think almost 1200% increase on my price is a bit much.......... Problem is, people pay it cause they don't know any better.
