British
computer users pay twice as much for IT
PC Pro - UK
British IT users can sidestep the great British rip-off and save up to 50
per cent by importing products from the US, PC Pro reveals.
British buyers are having the wool pulled over their eyes, as sellers in the US
are able to offer exactly the same goods at huge discounts.
An in-depth investigation in the new issue of PC Pro shows that a copy of
Microsoft Office 2003 is £362 in the UK, but can be picked up for £211 in US
stores. Intuit Quickbooks Pro costs £270 here and only £130 in the US, while a
digital camera is 40 per cent more expensive in York, than in New York.
Other products affected by the price premium include laptops, PDAs and MP3
players.
