Person joins to post two exact same threads? Troll smell it does have.

"Troll smell its does have"

I suspect Master Yoda may have joined the forums

No offence intended, just made me smile.

Plus, GW doesn't slip in a price change. They do it with great fanfare and you'll know about it before it hits.

The fanfare is to let us know the great service they are providing in allowing us to pay more for models. I mean, honestly, how many of us would know what to do with extra money if GW's prices were lower...that's right, none of us. What they are doing is helping the ignorant masses make decisions, of course they are going to have a fanfare. Frankly, I'm surprised it isn't announced over radio and television broadcast as a public service announcement.

If they did lower prices, I guess I would just buy more, and I am sure they know it.

You would probably spend the same amount of money but get more models, charging you loads of money means they still get all your hobby bucks for the least expenditure. Once they find the point where people actually just quit (rather than saying they will on forums), then they'll stop increasing prices

set your country to the US, seriously, we get this thread about once a week. Also, lets not get into the "Aussie's pay more" debate because the facts all point to them paying about the same when you take national average wages of demographics into account.

Oh please just no, go away, you are wrong so sickeningly wrong. I am tired of pointing out various inconsistencies with the "it ends up the same" argument.

Sigh we have...

a minimum wage, not a higher average wage
we also pay more as a percentage of what we earn in tax, utilities and cost of living (pertol and milk)

perfect example is digital media, which despite having NONE of those overhead differences you are talking about are still more than twice the price here. IE: It's cheaper to fly to the US, buy adobe, fly back than it is to download a copy in australia,,,

GOOD BYE!!

And it's been this way for almost 40 years, yet suddenly it is now an issue.

The internet. And a dollar stronger than the US make rhe issue far more noticable.

It's only an issue because of our strong dollar. People can't seem to work out that prices are dictated internally, not by global market dollar values though.
