Anyway what do you get for $720?
Supply, given the demand.

Having visited Vietnam and then Myanmar just after they opened up to Americans, I understand this phenomenon very, very well. I appreciate your level-setting. Sorry if you got priced out of the market.

FWIW, I don't consider it being ripped off. I consider it the price of early adoption.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
