If Finnish companies would bring their greedy prices into gear with the rest of the world on so many products people wouldn't be going to Timbukto to get the simplest stuff.
If rest of the world would be nice and pay the 24% VAT when sending stuff to you... there would be no problem?
Well - the stuff I went out to the airport for cost a bit under 40 euro - for which I paid 5+ VAT (14%). The same - a simple chemical - would have cost 180 here. So the VAT is an insignificant amount compared to the price gouging in Finland.
You see price gouging, someone else would see business opportunity.
btw -- 'fixed costs' -- at what price?
