Ive looked at the plex store and they have really messed up the prices
1 plex = -ú16.99
2 plex = -ú29.99
6 Plex = -ú89.99
10 Plex = -ú129.99 = -ú12.99 each
28 plex = -ú409.99 = -ú14.64 each abit of a price increase from buying 10
You can buy plex from Shattered Crystal as it is a authorised seller and can get 2 for $34.99 around -ú22.62 for 2, thats still cheaper than what the Plex store is trying to sell them at, if i wanted to but the 28 plex from them it would cost $489.86 or -ú316.81 which is a massive saving but is still more than i currently pay
so why is there such a difference ?
I may as well pay the sub as that only costs me -ú9.99 a month

Think of it as paying a premium for getting the PLEX directly injected into your account rather than having to jump through the hoops of waiting for codes and then redeeming themGǪ

Why are there overpriced candy bars, tabloid magazines and lighters in the checkout lane of a grocery store?

Technically you should be paying VAT @ 20% on those Shattered Crystal plexes.
Whilst you can, practically speaking, evade that tax, CCP aren't in a position to do so, and thy have to apply it.
PLEX are supposed to be slightly more expensive than subscribing. If you just want to keep your accounts active, then a subscription is better.

They might be using different currency conversion too, one might not be as up to date on exchange rates. I've seen that happen pretty often looking at the same item, with the same price in USD, on different stores.
Also, the 28 pack costs more per Plex than the 10 pack because the 10 pack is on sale right now |

It's not PLEX you are buying from SC, it's an ETC that you get a code for and that converts to PLEX. The PLEX CCP sells is injected straight to your account and more safe than time codes (in my opinion anyway). That and exchange rates really mess stuff like this up.
