Tech prices in Argentina are a little crazy!

Splinter · Dec 2nd 2019

I'm sourcing a high spec laptop for a client and we've settled on a particular model of Lenovo with all the right specs. We can get buy it at various places, but I've settled on two suppliers because I've bought from them before, when building gaming machines. One is MEXX and the other is Logg Hardware.

But check out the prices for cash:

On Amazon it sells for around US$850 -$900, so one has to wonder where where they get the list prices from, which are hugely inflated. I expect to pay more here, obviously, but nevertheless...

Its the Argie list price....

All Argie list prices are inflated , whether it be computers or wine or whatever

Wine ...look at the prices in Jumbo or Coto and then look in your local Chino or on Mercado Libre

But thats why Jumbo does a 4 x 2 every 3/4 weeks and Coto does 40% for its card holders almost every week.

So the 'on sale' prices are the prices we should be paying, then.

However, $96,000 list and $66,000 cash prices are really taking the biscuit, giving us the illusion that we're getting a fucking bargain.

Yes I've always found that interesting. Are supermarkets forced into that way of trading do you know? Seems obvious to me they are.
