It usually works out about the same as me ordering a reg in the uk. Even with taxes etc.
It does suck, but its worth it
I know! Thats what I do

I'll order Direct if the ex is cool but if I order from retailers in Canada I can get free shipping and avoid duty. I order the new hulk in house and it will save me easily over a $100 because it was also selling for $20 less. I would never have ordered it diect.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF
I was doing that a few years ago but the markup here in Australia makes it more expensive than buying direct most of the time and SS does the Flexpay thing so its just way easier to buy direct, pay it off and get the EX.
Yeah right. No savings to be made here in Oz, I got no idea what margin local retailers make on these high end collectibles, I imagine it isn't much
They've gotta ship the things and pay what 300 bucks for the fig then they make maybe 100 bucks with the markup? What's the point given the way some of these things sit on the shelves waiting for someone who is interested to buy. I would LOVE to have my own collectables shop but I just don't see enough of a market here in Oz.

You should set up shop Bruce. You know you want to.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF
The key to setting up a comic shop/collectibles shop is being able to order enough inventory to get the maximum discount Diamond provides without having anything sit in the shop for too long.
It's difficult but location, meaning one without any shop like it around and in an area where you'll actually have customers, can make all the difference.

Spot on dude. The rent for a shop in a good location is actually astronomical here. I was talking to a lady about the rent they pay for a shop in a popular shopping centre here. Her lease was up and was asked to pay $360000 a year. Don't forget after 3 years you have to refurbish the shop at your expense aswell, staff wages, electricity etc. It just wasn't worth it for her and they closed (as are a number of other businesses). I just don't see a market for high end collectibles here. People are not willing to spend their hard earned cash and rightfully so. Our governments are good at wasting our taxpayer dollars.

You're about right there about mark up. I've secured a Legendary Wolverine from an Aussie vendor for $2229 shipped so not much of a mark up at all even with the strong Aussie dollar.
