  • Inquiry Into IT Pricing
    Submission 031 Received 14/06/2012 Inquiry into IT Pricing Dear Committee, I am making my submission as a public consumer of IT products. Presently, many of my purchases are online, mostly from Australian businesses that typically bypass local distributors to directly import from overseas, some of my purchases are also from international businesses. The reason for this is primarily the large price differential experienced with local retail outlets versus online suppliers. This large price differences do not in my experience stem from a retail outlet having to pay for a “bricks and mortar” shop front, as this appears in my experience to only add 5 -10% to a products price. The greatest difference appears to be that set by the original equipment manufacturers themselves. As an example of this I would like to show you a simple comparison available to anyone with internet access. (Prices compared as at 14/06/2012) Dell Laptop Comparison (Australian & USA Web sites) Dell Alienware M18x: $3,299 base model (Australian Pricing) http://www.dell.com/au/p/alienware-m18x-r2/fs Dell Alienware M18x: $1,999 base model (USA Pricing) http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-M18x-r2/pd.aspx Price Difference: $1300 Dell XPS 13: 3 models in the range $1299, $1,599, $1799 (Australian Pricing) http://www.dell.com/au/business/p/xps-13-l321x/fs Dell XPS 13: 3 model in the range $999, $1299, $1499 (USA Pricing) http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-13-l321x/pd#Services Price Difference: $300 across the range Dell Inspiron 14z: $799 base model (Australian Pricing) http://www.dell.com/au/p/inspiron-14z-5423/fs Dell Inspiron 14z: $499 base model (USA Pricing) www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-n411z/pd.aspx?~ck=anav&~ck=mn999999 Price Difference: $300 Generally the price differences are greater the higher the specification of machine that is compared.
