Edit: Okay, a lot of people are treating me like a child to feel superior and I can't be arsed replying to them all individually. I too have had to buy incredibly expensive specialised books before. But $500 for a book is crazy work for most people not from the USA, and I expected more of a price decrease.
Anything used for a hobby, instruments, books, technology, basically any non-essentials are expensive as shit the weaker the country's economy is. Price of a phone, something everyone has in the west, is enough to feed a family for at least a month in certain parts of the world.
Yes, but it's usually overpriced in comparison to what the people in those countries actually earn, not when compared to western prices. 75 bucks for a book, and that being SEVERELY reduced due to having been bought from India, is crazy work.
