In the duty-free zone of Paraguay, near the Iguazu Falls on the border with Brazil, a local electronics store has launched a massive sale of PlayStation 5 consoles at an incredibly low price of just $179. This has sparked widespread excitement among shoppers.
According to eyewitnesses who commented on the video on Reddit, this exceptionally low price is due to the store's unique status in the duty-free zone. Typically, electronics prices in this region are close to American rates, but occasionally stores offer significant discounts to clear out inventory.
Commenters also noted that many Brazilians regularly cross the border to shop in Paraguay, as the law allows them to bring in goods valued up to $500 per month when crossing by land. The border here consists of a pedestrian bridge, making shopping particularly accessible.
This situation is especially relevant in light of the impending "Black Friday" and the pre-holiday sales season. On Brazilian Amazon, the discounted price of a PlayStation 5 Standard Edition is around $680.
As local users report, even considering potential additional costs for crossing the border, purchasing electronics in Paraguay often remains more economical for Brazilians due to high import duties in their country.
