Living in Bulgaria and having a pretty solid income (programmer) I can tell you the prices are rarely the problem by itself.

My current cart in Amazon is about $470. With shipping and handling the whole thing goes to almost $800.

We might as well go to the local flea markets and spend the afternoon asking people around for the same things because almost everybody outside the comfy zone of Amazon and eBay ends up paying almost double due to shipping + handling costs.
