I agree with the 5-15 % increase - because after all, we are this far from the manufacturer - but 3-4 times the price is what really bugs me..

I had to bargain for a sony camera [sony 7.2 megapix 9k at  international prices] - from 24 k and finally settled at 17k - and the dude claimed that he had made a loss [ he had a smile on his face as he said so ].
