Episode Details

When a Dremel dies, the replacement hunt turns up something odd — Bosch tools in Israel cost 30% to 200% more than in Europe, and the importer's own direct store charges the highest prices in the country. This episode traces the markup through exclusive distribution, warranty moats, and the quiet mechanics of recommended retail prices. From Leegin to Israel's Competition Authority draft amendment, from the State Comptroller's car importer data to the personal import boom, we ask whether more importers would actually bring prices down — or just create a dressed-up oligopoly.
