is the $80 include tax, or do you have to add tax on top, which makes it around $100 in the US, assuming a sales tax rate of 20%?
You have to add tax but that varies. It’s usually 5-10%.

Thank you. So the markup by Leatherman's distributors outside the US, while still steep, is not as bad as I initially thought when considering the pre-tax prices.

9.75!?  That's worse than my greedy state (California).

We have less tax in other areas. We don't have a state income tax, just the regular income tax :cheers: Property tax I believe is cheaper and perhaps yearly vehicle tags aren't very bad either :tu:

$149.99 in AUD (108 USD at today's rate...)

That's actually pretty reasonable...A wave rolls at $200 and a Wingman at $110....So it's more or less where you'd expect it to be,

Real price is possibly more around $120 (if they're in stock in time for fathers day sales in two weeks.....), so it might push Wingman down (or possibly just off the shelves at retailers, no point having it in stock if the margin isn't there...)

Obviously I'd prefer cheaper  :D - but I think a Made in USA leatherman at $120, with OHO blade? That's gunna do well.

I think this one page from Amazon explains the pricing strategy.

To your east the sales tax varies by the county. In my county, the sales tax is 7.25%. But we also have a 5.25% state income tax.

I agree! Now that both have their individual owners' clubs, I think this thread has served its purpose.
