[comp.sys.mac] Comparison of prices

harkcom@potato.pa.Yokogawa.CO.JP (Alton Harkcom) (04/09/90)

   I am posting a list of prices from Japan and America. If you know of any
lower prices, please let me know. Also I am interested in hearing about prices
in other countries. These prices use 150 yen/$ as a conversion rate. The prices
may have changed as my American magazines usually don't get to Japan until one
or two months after they hit the American market. That may be a problem with my
source (one of the largest and greediest bookstores in Japan). Or it may be a
problem with importing. My subscriptions get here about the same time that the
same issue hits the American market. I don't subscribe to any Mac magazines yet.

MacUser & MacWorld... cost almost $10 at the bookstores here in Japan...

I will use letters to represent company names but can supply names and addresses
if needed... Canon and Apple Japan are not included in this list because their
prices are usually double the discount house price.

		J.A	J.B	J.C	J.D	A.A	A.B	A.C	A.D
Suitcase II	79	67	55	80	45	44	44	44
OnCue		67	50	42	60	35	35	35	35
Excel 2.2		350	330	373	249	247		249
Think C 4.0		233	243	250	159		155	149

   Arghhh... It's time to go to work... I'll finish this later today and post
it again...
