So could Nike who makes shoes for less than $5 and then sells them in excess of $100. How about Hilfiger or Polo. How much do you think it's costing them to make that shirt that you see on the rack for $50-$100. The DVD mark up on R1's is nowhere near as high.

Yet I never hear anyone complain about Nike or Honda or Dell or anything else as much as you guys complain about ADV/Bandai/Funi/etc. As much as everyone bitches and complains, if there was no alternative like HK's or fansubs, you guys would buy the R1's and be happy about it.

In all fairness... there's not a big HK Nike running shoes market in North America. I don't shell out that much money for a pair of shoes... I don't support Nike... but if I could get "bootleg" Hilfiger jackets readily, I'd probably buy that.

It's all about the availability of alternatives. The HK bootlegs are there, and affordable... and while the R1's are heading in that direction, they're far less readily available to me, personally, and they're far more expensive. The more they come down in price, and the more the stores up here in Canada are stocking them (praise London Drugs), the more of them I've found myself buying...
