I see the exact same arguments in the photography world - in the pro gear area, photography gear is outrageously overpriced locally.

i.e. Canon 70-200/2.8 IS lens you can import from usa for around $2200 landed. Some stores want $3600-$3800 for the same item.

The big primes are even worse, i.e. a 400mm f/2.8 is around $6500 USD overseas, I've seen retailers locally asking 18k.
