MacBook Pro - Buying in the States or in Russia

    image
    I ordered a friend to bring a MacBook Pro 17 from the States.
    When a month ago I monitored prices in Russia for this model, prices fluctuated around 100,000 rubles. And US $ 2299 seemed very attractive. Then he handed over the money.
    Yesterday I phoned, a friend made me happy - I bought it, only $ 200 from above, because the price on the apple website does not include tax.
    Yandex calculator says that the purchase cost me 75,467.25 rubles.
    For fun, I went to price.ru, and what do I see?
    prce.ru: macbook pro 17
    I called one of the stores, which indicates the price of 77500 rubles.
    Really is available. American MacBook engraved on the keys.
    I'm upset. The machine will come to me without a box for reasons of transportation convenience, I should wait for it before August 17th. In addition, I strained the man in vain.
    I wonder how the store can set such a price, some of its sources, cheaper than on the Apple website?
    They write so much that in Russia it is terribly unprofitable to buy Apple equipment, it turns out that this is not entirely true. American MacBook can be bought here for the same money as in the United States.
    UPDATE:
    Apple does not have the lowest prices on the site and they do not include taxes.
    You can buy a MacBook Pro 17 "on Amazon for $ 2,089.93 and this price already includes tax. $ 400 cheaper than directly from Apple.
    So in America, this beech can be bought for 63,100 rubles and save about 14,000 rubles compared to Russian offers.
