Not long ago I had this visitor at work from the US office. He wanted to buy some Australian made sheep skin boots as he figured that they would be cheaper here...Well he was shocked when he realized that the local prices are more than what he would pay for Australian Imports in the US

People living in Australia pay like 2 to 3x more what most of the developed world pay for retail goods overseas so it shouldn't be a surprise that as more people discover Internet shopping, they are realizing that it's much cheaper to buy from overseas as they are being ripped off by local retail prices.
