This seems to be the approach taken by Bricklink in most countries, and I think it runs afoul of The LEGO Group's efforts to reduce their environmental footprint. The consequence of displaying sales tax inclusive pricing for domestic stores and exclusive pricing for international stores, is that it makes international stores appear cheaper than local stores. No no, at the contrary - as when importing: * the NZ buyer pays for the GST at the check out (so if the item price is the same, it makes the same price with tax in the end), * Shipping is very probably far more expensive when shipped from outside your marvellous island, so don't worry, that'll keep your local prices better. And as peregrinator said, it's not BL, it's your Country's Laws which are applied here (and on eBay, and progressively anywhere).
