Well, $30k is not very far off €30k when you figure in vat at 20%. However, I cannot judge your statement since the BMW website doesn't give out prices. Also, I am talking about internet sales, that are not subject to VAT in the US (cross state).

Mainstream companies are ripping customers off just as adult companies, not only they charge different prices within different countries, they even charge different prices to different people.

So, they charge different prices to different countries huh? Ehm, is that cos of differences in VAT? And, in the absence of bartering or targeted marketing, I've never come across 1 guy paying a price for one thing, and another paying a different.

Its called demand-supply or economics, if you wish. The sooner you understand it, the sooner you can start making money, too. Just like all the others who make money instead of nonstop whining.

Its called economics??? Supply and demand I can understand, although that does NOT apply to regional billing for porn since there are no supply costs. That is pure greed and ripping off a market. The test of course would be to have regional billing on for 2 months (a rebill cycle) and RB off for 2 months and see how much each earns. Less cost = more customers = greater rebill chances. Just ask Ryanair about that
economic business model.
And when did I become a none-stop whiner?
