it would be totally ok if Oakley treat USA cosumers the same way as it does to Canadians. this market differentiation is actually consumer discrimination. guess Oakley must think all Canadians are smart enough to be able to check out US prices by using a proxy. Or it might think Canadians are simply super rich.
that's disgusting...
[quote="dealzuser" post_id="5950193" time="1195440042" user_id="13272"]I think we are reading too many price fixing conspiracies here. I don't think Oakley did this just to hide prices from Canadians. There are lots of sites that are blocked from Canada. For example, I heard that from the US, you can watch TV episodes from network's website, but it's blocked from Canada.
BTW, my curiosity did get the best of me. I priced an Oakley pair of glasses on the US site through a free proxy server. For example:
- POLARIZED OAKLEY NANOWIRE
