As the dollar currency is quite low right now, I thought to myself it would be a good idead to buy another license of vray. I then proceeded to find an online dealer to purchase from. After a short while I found some good deals, ranging from $865 - $1000.
These are good prices. So I am about to pay, and then I read, Can only be sold to customers in the USA, Canada and Mexico, on orders from Chaosgroup.
This ticks me off a little, as I am sure the price in South Africa is going to be more expensive. After checking for resellers in South Africa online, I can only find one (Touchvision.co.za). Their online listed price for vray in R10 356 ($ 1,39
. This is almost $400 more expensive than from an online store in the USA. If I take off the tax of 14%, the price is still R9,084.21 ($1,226.36).
This means there is still a difference of $226.36.
What I would like to know is why is the price more expensive, considering that there is NO support on there behalf and you download the software from the internet. All they seem to do is give you the physical dongle.
What also annoys me is that they have a monopoly on this software distribution in South Africa (I stand to be corrected).
I would very much like to promote your software in our country, but find online trade restrictions unfair. My solution to this problem is not to give into the whim's of distributers, but encourage them to move with the times by reducing there prices to compete with other international online resellers.
This would then encourage potential local buyers to purchase the product from them, as appose to being forced.
