Another AMAZON is a SCAM thread

This book costs $6.72 on the amazon india website and costs $30.10 on the amazon US website.


https://www.amazon.in/Python-Program...s%2C270&sr=8-3

https://www.amazon.com/Python-Progra...s%2C170&sr=8-3

Why does the same book cost americans 4+ times as much as it costs for Indians?

A lot of things are like this too, this is just one example.

Fuk Amazon

Because a seller would sell as high as possible to make a profit, and no client is the same.

The markets are not moral, they don't have to be moral, no one forces you to buy the book.


Want to bring the price down?

Don't buy it.

I would guess a greater demand in the US than in India.

Because the average Indian worker makes $3/day and Amazon warehouses pay their employees based on the country they live in so their labor and overhead costs are significantly lower in India than in the US.
