Ray, as ever, they will charge what the market will bear.
Price is a marketing tool ( you know that- but some don't seem to understand it )
We call it the Australia Tax, which all international companies slug us for their products. It really hasn't anything to do with additional costs incurred because of location. If you think Microsoft is bad, just check out Adobe pricing. What's ironic is that when Australia exports products to the US, the US prices are often way lower than what we pay here.
I realise that, but there are things such as taking advantage that even our government is pitifully trying to address. Many people simply buy from the US through eBay etc, or worse, pirate software. That can't be good for anyone.
