So core should lower their prices now right?

[purejimcn]

i remember not too long ago when people complained about apple prices, core specifically stated that we cannot compare the prices to the US store because they get their stock from europe and uk region...

so because i work with 2 bloomberg screens and the bloomberg channel al day, iv seen the euro go from about just under 11Rand to about a EURZAR rate of 9.3-9.4 in the past month or so... the pound having a similar depreciating trend vs the Rand...

so my question is with the 10-15% appreciation of the Rand against the currencies Core imports from, surely we expect local pricing to come down by about 10% or more?

sadly i dont think core will ever do that anyone else with any comments?

No chance of that!!!

Hi! I personally dought that! If the gut @ core are ****ish enough to over charge us in the 1st place, then they will take full advantage of any currency change in order to up profits.. I think in term of making a good public image and therefore boosting sales, they should lower prices when the ball is in their court!

Core sucks! They have been Apple Distros for many years now and and never gave any savings they made through to the customer.
Core doing the same with Nintendo, they have a huge markup on consoles and games.

Well maybe we can expect a price decrease on future Mac models, but I don't expect to see one now!

actually went to check the uk site and some european apple store sites and they seem quite expensive(since im used to buying in hong kong), but we are still at least on average 20% or so more expensive than the uk store and they have higher VAT if im not mistaken... o wel at least looking on the bright side, before the pound and euro tumbled we were only about 10% or so more expensive than europe
