    Default Carbatec price gouging

    As I am running low on Bolt action pens from Penn State Industries and the exchange rate as it is I thought I would check for local suppliers. The result is amazing. Even with the current exchange rate its still cheaper to by from PSI. Found 2 Aus companys selling the same product at a far cheaper price. (hats of the Timberbits and Pops Shed) How can Carbatec justify their pricing of these pens ($22, dollars dearer than anyone else).
    While I know CT have come in for some critisism over the years but they could improve their sales by being competitive. I would love to support Australian companys so Timberbits and Pops Shed will get my money.

    So you found three Oz suppliers of the product. All of them cheaper than the US? But CT was the more expensive. So you didn't buy from them.
    Sounds like normal process. CT do not have to justify to us what they charge.
    Vote with your $$$ and buy from the supplier of your choice.
    I didn't see the point of the thread.
