No REAL Apple Stores in Panama


Here in Panama, the Apple store does not exist.  Here, they only have authorized Apple resellers.  Sounds good right...wrong!  If you wanna buy an apple product here, expect to pay a lot more for some products. 

I needed a to by a power cord for my Macbook.  In the US, the retail price is $79.00 (which is still high because I found it online for only $39.00).  I went to 2 different Apple resellers, the price at one was $94.00 and $99.00 at the other one.

If you live in Panama City and have no other options, expect to pay a much higher price for some Apple products.  If you are fortunate enough, just buy the products in the US. 

*Note:  Some things in Panama are sold at low or reasonable prices.  However, based on lack of competition...some things are a rip off!
