Thats weird..I would stay domestic if it is cheaper and the chance of seizure is lower...But I have to ask, why would anyone pay high prices for foreign if they get it cheaper domestic ? The whole reason to go foreign is cheap prices
I've found that overseas sources deliver much quicker because they'll take wire transfers. All of the domestic sources want cash and that doubles delivery time.
keep in mind that most domestic sources get their stuff from overseas, so it's impossible for the domestic source to be cheaper than the international...
In your case I would be very suspicious, you either have a very shitty foreign source or your domestic one is too good to be true...
Some domestic sources are not all about the greed -- they are just brother -- who have gotten sick of paying shitty prices and have desided to do something about it! IRON BROTHERHOOD must stick together -- united we stand -- with a common cause.
That was almost poetic. Excuse me, I need a tissue. sniff. Just playing. I think you got a great point. However, i have noticed foreign to be cheaper than domestic. Of course this is based on HYPOTHETICAL and very limited experience.
You also have to take into account that most domestic supplies are made for dogs, cats, and horces. You buy mainly human grade when you buy overseas. So you can't compare prices of apples and oranges.
Normally I would say that overseas is always cheaper..but I swear some of the sources overseas got greedy lately.
I know one European guy who now charges $15 per Sus amp yet my domestic has them for $11 to $13 and sometimes cheaper if he got a bulk shipment.
Guess it all depends on who and where.
Want to hear a better one? I know one domestic who sells TTokkyo gear and I know one guy way overseas who sells TTokkyo gear for cheaper than the domestic. Laugh my ass off whenever I see their gear lists.
