vsb Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) iirc the last time this was brought up mattscott said they had contacted amazon about it several times and hadn't received a response edit: Edited February 1, 2020 by Solamente link 2
PotatoeGirl Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 What I want to know is why armas still says 5$ to 500g1c when it is actually 6$ now. Misleading much?

That would probably be your local VAT being added, from the US this is what you get: 9 hours ago, Hexerin said: https://smile.amazon.com/Reloaded-Games-41219PB-Reloaded1-Download/dp/B00A2VHB4U/ Noticing that the G1C bundles are using the old pricing model ($1 = 80 G1C), which leads me to believe that this Amazon listing is either outdated or a scam run by third party. All of them are out of stock anyway, so it would be hard to pick them up to test

The proper exchange is shown when trying to make a purchase anyway.

All games have VAT included in their prices. APB is the only game that i know which advertise prices without VAT. There isn't even an asterisk to mention that vat is not included. You only see the full price when attempt to make a purchase. Also since the non taxed price is listed as 5$, does that means LO pays no taxes for sales in NA? That doesn't even make sense.

Afaik most if not all prices in the US are before taxes, since every state doesn't have the same taxes % Edit : also forgot to mention that when you buy something, the seller doesn't pay taxes on the sale, you do. All they do is collect it to give it back to the government (at least that's how it works where I live) Edited February 5, 2020 by heelruby

All they do is collect it to give it back to the government (at least that's how it works where I live) The issue is that if they allow international transactions, the price should be adjusted for the certain region or clarify if VAT is not included if going to keep it the same. When I buy a game on Steam, I see the the final price that I will have to pay (for me it will be 6$, for others will be 5$), not the price that goes to publisher, developer or government.

Now I'm not sure you're trolling or not since you can see the final price just like I can

It's not the final page before payment nor is it the cart's page so I really don't get why this bothers you this much. There's nothing "illegal" or whatever in there

There's nothing "illegal" or whatever in there Simply because it is misleading and it cost them nothing to just edit it out. That page has been like this for years before taxes were added to ingame purchases. Edited February 7, 2020 by HawtGirl
CookiePuss Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 You are told what the cost is before you pay though, right? If so, isnt that enough?

No. It is no different than going shopping and see one price on the label just to find out it cost more when you get to the checkout. Edited February 7, 2020 by HawtGirl

Pretty much every store you go to in every state displays item prices without tax. The initial pop up page is correct regardless.

The initial pop up page is correct regardless. How one can be sure then if they have enough money when buying many things at once if taxes are not included on the prices? But anyway, as I said, APB is the only game that I know which does this. Every other place where I have to pay in $, the on-display price is always with tax included.
SkittyM Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 9 hours ago, HawtGirl said: How one can be sure then if they have enough money when buying many things at once if taxes are not included on the prices? the general logic would be that you go into the store and guesstimate up to your limit. Such as walk into the store with $20 and buy $19 worth of stuff with the remaining $1 for taxes. Though if you actually have money, then you don't pay attention to taxes, like at all.
