Austrians limit posh handbag purchases for Japanese

"If we did not limit sales to Japanese, they would buy all our products," outlet manager Florian Jonak was quoted as saying to an Austrian magazine.

Hmmm... anyone see anything wrong with that? :roll:

The free market is set up to punish stupidity like that, all we have to do is sit back and watch. Laughing is optional.

Free market doesn't usually work with luxury items like those handbags. Since there will be fewer in circulation in Japan, it will just drive up demand for them.

But, yeah, what do you expect from the country that elected Haider's Hate Party as the third most popular party in Austria... plus, Hitler was Austrian too. :wink:
