i was surfing on the net as usual, and i came across this traders website, they are selling Sony KDL-52XBR3 for US$1335 while its mentioned on the USA sony website US $4,299.99. On the website its mentioned that a few days back it was $5299.99.
My mind is really going circles, how can same thing, same warranty, be sooo expensive and still so cheap?

Because the countrys you mention employ cheap labour , some would say slave labour !

Greedy retailers on two different week ends I visited a favorite store shopping and comparing prices over the week they raised the price $400 which was already $300 over the manufacturer suggested retail. I think here in the US price is set based on what they think we can afford to pay.

You have to understand that companies that make products calculate the cost of parts that go into their products along with the costs of labor. So many factors go into product pricing. When companies use "cheap labor" they can afford to sell it far cheaper than if its made by workers who make a decent wage.
It's a struggle between good and evil if you will ! Some companies make quality products and in the process provide good paying jobs for their workers while other companies try to get by as cheaply as possible and often times in that cheaper process, its the workers who suffer.

i think it is because sony is a japanese company, and the shipping costs are a lot less. there is a risk for the tv to break, etc.

because sony tvs are made in asia so naturally they would be cheaper where they are made
