Being an Apple user from last year I have been buying all the genuine softwares as far as possible for my machine. While I was in Dubai, it was not that hard for me to find the new softwares cause sooner or later within few days/weeks they used to get available in the market and the prices were somehow little bit more when we used to convert them from $$$. But, as I am in Nepal now, I bought iLife ’09 here which original price (apple.com/ilife) is $79 which will be around Nrs. 6004.00 (79×76) and they charged me Nrs. 9500.00 for a single user pack which is really a big deal for mac users in Nepal to pay such a huge amount of money for iLife ’09.
And today Apple launched its new Mac OSX named Snow Leopard which costs $29 for an upgrade DVD for single user pack and here they told me that it will be available for us in 10 days and I have to pay around NRs. 3500.00-4000.00, how can you just put your own price tag??? Ok I understand we have to pay tax and all while importing these kinds of stuffs but being a premium reseller in Nepal this is not what you charge for your customers. So, I am little bit confused here, if I should buy it here paying NRs. 3500.00-4000.00 or should I ask someone abroad to send me one.

The Snow Leopard is available for Rs. 3000 in Nepal and the Snow Leopard Family Pack is available at Rs. 4000. Apple does not have a single price policy all over the world. Due to the taxes, freight and other factors the prices vary from country to country. If you check India and Singapore Online prices, prices in Nepal are similar.
Thanks Apple User for your information but the prices are way too much different even between India and Nepal, for India iLife 09′ is for Rs.4,320.00 whereas I paid for the same thing Rs.9,500.00. So, I think there is way big difference in India and Nepal prices, Apple might have quoted prices for Asia but when we go to buy these stuffs we have to pay more than we should, that’s the point.
For Mac Mini in India it’s Rs.33,530.00 and my friend recently bought the same machine for his company and he paid Rs.58,000.00.
I am also thinking of buying mac mini coz i m iphone developer and can’t afford a imac. I develop in office using latest imac, but in home i have desktop and acer laptop. So, hoping to bring imac to do some dev stuffs. Is it ok to buy in here Nepal or order from abroad via friends ? Anyway…. everything here in Nepal to do is quite difficult.
