Buy direct from the US, cheaper
The news yesterday was that the Aussie dollar closed at 0.90 AUD to the US Dollar. That's the highest it's been in over twenty years. So, with the exchange rate rapidly becoming on-par with the US dollar, why aren't we seeing imported consumer goods; especially electronics; levelling out to the prices we see in the States?
Apple allegedly assumes a fixed exchange rate of 0.60 AUD to the US Dollar. It would seem other manufacturers are similarly ripping off Australian consumers.
