Why Phoenix 1:200 A320s cost more in HK?

kl729 · 07-24-2008, 08:48 AM

Does anyone know why a 1:200 PH A320 costs more in Hong Kong? It is somewhere around $60.00 but it only costs $49.99 in the U.S. A nicely packed GJ with stand wouldn't cost that much! It is very unusual as HK is a place to shop for bargain and shipping to HK from the factory is just across the border! I apologize if I posted this in the wrong thread.
Phoenix, I hope you are reading this!

I would guess that it has something to do with china's export/import policy. I am unfamiliar with hong kong's status, but I know that china puts heavy tariffs on re-importing items into china that are made in china, as it is the policy of the chinese government that goods need to be exported.

Still, $60.00 is WAY to expensive for an a320.
