shouted down
First of all this is not about anything on this site. I have to say that in case anyone thinks it is
Elsewhere the topic of getting products cheaper either from abroad or by other legal means ie grey imports
I happened to post, following on from an initial post by someone else, about making a huge saving on my last camera I bought.
Well what a torrant of abuse I got, not only saying I was depriving the government of tax or import duty, but even went as far as saying I was robbing and stealing from the government and taking work away from authorised retailers.
This is something I just don't understand, is it jealousy? on their part.
As far as I know if a product is advertised and legitimate then there is nothing wrong in purchasing that product at the advertised price. Just because it is being sold at a fraction of others selling the same product does not make it a "dodgy" purchase.
Sorry about the rant but it got under my skin that others on that site think i did something entirely wrong. Yet those same members put links to companies selling " grey" imports and that is ok.
