Why the heck does #PixelTablet start with 679 € in Germany? It's 740 bucks, against the US starting price of $499. A markup of more than 36%!
Interestingly enough, the markup on #Pixel phones isn't nearly as high: $499 ⇒ $555 for 7a (11%), $1799 ⇒ $2074 (15%) for the Fold.
**EDIT:** I didn't consider the sales tax, which means the US price is different from advertised, for most states (thx @teezeh). Still doesn't explain the tablet/phones difference :/
For the record, the GDP (PPP) per capita is larger in the US, than in Germany, so I fail to see a reason for the markup at all. I wish it would be at least like in the old days, where the amount in dollars would become the amount in euros, only the currency sign would change.
