YouŽll have the chance to pay twice the product price if youŽre shipping electronics from outside, like i did when I bought GBA from gamestop.com (btw, never make an prepurchase there, they are horrible and lame)

I donŽt buy much anymore, but most things are books form amazon.com (tax free).

But I know what you want to do.. like the star wars darth vader voice changer mask, itŽs 26 dollars on USA and 150 dollars on the stores around here (...)

My advice is to find someone whoŽs going to the usa, or someone who lives there to sent it to you. If youŽre buying from ebay, you can ask the person which youŽre buying with to mail the package with the product prize note as below 10 dollars, so it wonŽt be difficult to get the product released on the mail, otherwise itŽll mostly be held there and youŽll have to pay some enormous amount of cash to get your product.

I won an Nintendo DS from my bosses who went at E3 (150$), they bought an Ipod Photo for my friend here as well and the cost was around R$1200. But by mail? If you try UPS YouŽll probably pay around 2k or 3500 if youŽre unlucky with the taxes. :|
