Hi Everyone,

 The comments about offloading retail gear was the point I was trying to make, 
but I did not want to be so blunt just in case I offended anyone, as I don't make the 
rules and I could be wrong on correct use of the TIB.

 I think the import comments were supposed to highlight the issue of hidden 
costs. ie is this the price you buy from the site overseas, and does it include what 
you might have to pay to customs or the tax department. I'm not saying people 
are hiding these costs deliberately, I'd just like to know all bases are covered. It 
should be clearer so that you can make an informed purchasing decision. 

 Same goes for anything else that smells retail. What is the discount I get from 
using the TIB as opposed to going to the local PC shop?

Regards,
Gaz.
