As i understand it - Company sells product X in Country Y Company sells product Xx in Country Z Xx and X are very similar but either: 1) Differ in quality 2) Manufactured in different countries (thus a price difference) 3) One is not to be sold domestically due to company practice Jim buys product X from his local supplier through the correct channels. Jim sells product X in his store for $200, it costs him $150. Jim's product is designed for the country Y market and is supported with parts and manufacturers warranty. Wang's cousin Danny fills containers full of Xx and ships them from Z Wang sells product Xx in his store for $150, it costs him $100. Wangs product roughly identical in performance or specifications to Jim's but is generally not designed for country Y market, has no official support or warranty apart from Wang, and either Wang's cousin Danny. as i understand it. feel free to correct me, im only working on information provided to me from a few reps ive spoken to... and from stories from EDGE. - Russell "Steve Hodges" <shodges@wantree.com.au> wrote in message news:3CB37399.A9527973@wantree.com.au... > Me thinks we have a person who doesn't kow what grey imports are. > > Russell wrote: > > > > **RUMOR ALERT** > > > > I think its called "Grey Import" > > > > Fill up a container full of cheap cheap parts in asian and send it over. > > > > Hmmm lets see we have a computer case.. lets declare its value to customs > > at $XX.
