Simple electrical stuff is so much cheaper overseas that it is ridiculous. I wanted a wire cable to connect an MP3 player to an amplifier. Cheapest cost here was $14, though I did see it for $17.

I order two such cables from Hong Kong, and I got them three weeks later. Total cost including postage =$1

Similarly, getting a watch battery or CR2032 battery typically costs around $2 to $3 in a shop here. For that same amount, I get 10 batteries from overseas (though recently I've been able to get six batteries locally from Australian Ebay).

Regards,
Renato
