Just curious what is a general mark up on products from the states for a retailer?
I looked into getting barrels last year and saw that the price in aus was too high for my budget i found a place in the states which looked the goods before they decided not to email me back about my query.
I started this thread because as you know there is this new add and the barrels are as expected quite expensive however they look just like the ones from the american site i found and even the info sheets seem similar.

Now I'm not trying to start a shit storm just generally interested in how this works. But from what i worked out off the sites buy vs sell its a 400% mark up (give or take) Now i get that there are things like import taxes and gst but i am also aware that if a company is a supplier then they would not be paying the same rates i worked out.
Disclaimer: I also realise that in fact these could not be the same barrels and this retailer could be paying more for theirs it is more about the concept.
Are we getting ripped off by SOME of our retailers in Australia. As i would love to support the Aussies.
