So, many years back a big advantage of going overseas was the ability to buy stuff duty free. Now it's so easy to get stuff via the likes of eBay or grey market importers like Kogan, the advantages seem to be dropping. On the flip side, there can be great deals for overseas air flights - sometimes well under $100 each way if you don't mind carrying everything with you in a small bag - so a weekend shopping trip overseas is actually not out of the ball park.
So the question is - if you were in the market for a big ticket item like a camera, would you consider a long weekend overseas shopping trip and if so to where? It seems to be pretty easy to get return flights to/from Singapore or Auckland for $300 or so....
