try asking the seller to declare the item as a 'gift'.. no tax that way.
p/s: forget any LTD/ESP stuff by local retailers, period. online is the way to go. test in msia, buy online.
I've come to the same conclusion. Some things are marked up way beyond a reasonable amount. I know the stores have to make money too, but a LTD priced like a boutique guitar just turns people off. That's the first thing I noticed when I got back - how overpriced certain things are. p/s: forget any LTD/ESP stuff by local retailers, period. online is the way to go. test in msia, buy online.
Don't get me wrong, though - there are deals to be found. Maybe I skipped some classes when my lecturer was talking about supply and demand, but is the demand that high that the prices are justified?
That being said, guitarists are known for splashing out tons of money, no questions asked, when they see their dream guitar. And now that he/she owns their "dream guitar", they start to dream of another one.... and so the cycle continues
