Dick Smith Electronics - Dock connector - Rip Off

Again another product bought to you by the large multinationals, that are ripping off the general public.

At the time of this post, Dick Smith Electronics sells the "Dock Connector to USB Cable" for A$29.

According to Dick Smith the cable carries the following identification numbers:

Model #: MA591G/A Cat#: DSAU_C4849

An "EXACT" item purchased again, at a Happy Lucky $2 Shop,

with the same model number, was purchased for A$3.30 at a retail level.

The mark up on this item from one retailer to the other is over 870%.

Dick Smith Electronic and Tandy Electronics (Radio Shack in the United States), have been bought out by the corporate giant Big W.

The lack of competition, and the current 'theoretical' retail monopoly

is of detriment to the consumer.

Many if not all the electronics products brought to you by the multinationals are a RIP OFF to the consumer.




Just like the governments are 'regulating' bank profits, at the screaming of the plebs, so should there be an inquest to the consumer rip off by multinationals.
