Prices are set at what the market will bear. What's stupid about it? If we charged less for goods and services in Australia, it'll be quickly reflected in your pay packet.

Would you expect someone in say, Afghanistan, pay $80 for a Geoffrey Beene business shirt? Their gross median annual wage is < $1000/year.
