The good old Austrlian retailers looking after us.

I needed to buy a Label maker today.
Walked across the rd from my office to Dick Smith Electronics. The one that would suit was $48.65, which I thought was a bit much.

Walked 100m down the road to Office Works.
The EXACT same item, in the same packaging from the same supplier as DSE, was $16 CHEAPER than DSE.

So how do they justify this????
If the item was $200, I could understand it.

They are losing their customers, so they have exhorbitant prices to keep their margins up????

DSE is owned by Woolworths
Officeworks is owned by Coles (Westfarmers)

may as well get one from Aldi

the money going out of the country either way!!
