Good morning Skunks, I am interested at where you draw the line on how much more you would pay for goods locally if you can get them "cheaper" online elsewhere. Take for example Macbook Pro 17" i7/2.2 GHz/4GB/750GB This costs KSH 299,000/- at The Junction Mall. Walk in with the money, walk out with the machine
From the Apple store it costs USD 2656 after tax = KSH 252,000/-
A difference of KSH 47,000/- Considering you can get someone to carry it over for you and you very generously give them KSH 10,000/- for their troubles this leaves KSH 37,000/- better off than buying it locally. But you have to wait, you have to find someone accommodating and trustworthy to make the purchase on your behalf, you have to find someone trustworthy and accommodating to bring the machine over etc. For some us all that is worth saving KSH 37,000 others would just pay the KSH 37,000/- extra and have the machine immediately. What would you do? Where do you draw the line? 10k? 50? 100k? Thanks D
