Price comparison: Camper Peu Cami men’s shoes

Whether you are coming to Asia on a business trip or are living in Asia as an expatriate from a Western country, you will often find plenty of arbitrage opportunities as many shopping and clothing items in particular can cost significantly less in Asia. However, this is not always the case – especially if you are buying authentic designer European made shoes.

The Asian Wall Street Journal’s weekly Arbitrage column has recently conducted a survey of prices for Camper Peu Cami men’s shoes and the survey results show that you are generally better off buying a pair in New York or Europe and bringing them with you to Asia. Of course, you can always order a pair online and have them shipped to you which may or may not be more cost effective depending upon where in Asia you are living. Nevertheless, if there is a particularly expensive and authentic designer Western label that you cannot live without, it is better to do some research before you settle in Asia to determine whether or not you should stock-up before you move.
