I just acquired myself these beauties

and was informed by the very helpful, gay and overall fantastic shop wench in Prague, it depends where they were made. The one with a brit tag are actually an old stock, selling for a lot more since they were still made in the UK. Anything else, made in Thailand. Much cheaper.
Chances are, the more expensive boots are still from the stock made in the UK, usually in regular shops in boonies where die hard doc martens fans haven't discovered them yet. I was lucky. An excellent customer service, I even got a few recipes on cake baking (she was a pastry chef in the old, non doc marten life). Awesome.
It is possible, though, that even cheaper, Thai made docs are still much more expensive here than elsewhere.
