$79... That's like 20% off. It should be $39.99 deducted for 60% off seeing as these are $99 brand new anyways. Error on Massdrop's part? Many retailers list and sell these for $99, so this is kinda like false advertising in a way.
Zombie_XWelcome to the internet.
But really, it's the percentage off of the MSRP which is clearly stated to be $199.99. Many websites (and B&M stores for that matter) inflate the MSRP to make people think they are getting a steal, even though it may be the "normal" price.
NafonThe MSRP of $200 is pretty close to what they cost retail in AUS. Lowest i could find from my go-to sources was $185 so them being at this higher MSRP might be a global thing.
Zombie_XI was suggesting for international countries that the MSRP is fairly close to what it's current retail value is. In AUS it retails for the lowest price of $185.
Zombie_XAmazon usually won't ship an item like this to Aus, meaning we would have to use mail forwarding, which is $$$. So while it might not be a great deal for people in the US, it can be great for people that live in countries with high inflation.
SarahmixesI order things from Amazon all the time, currently using a mouse, keyboard and microphone all shipped from the US. Never used mail forwarding.
CampbellWell that's great for you but still doesn't solve the 99%'s problem. Maybe we are all doing this internet thing wrong. Maybe I should get one of those keyboard mousey things you're talking about. Would that solve my issue?? They seem to sell a lot of those contraptions on this site, right?
