Why is the price so different for XRP on Bithumb?

[Omegagen]

On Bithumb Ripple (XRP) is $1.51, but on the others, Poloniex and Bittrex it's $1.13- 1.15.  That's about a 25% difference!!! I need that money!!!

Because that is the offer and demand in that exchange. May be due to the low volume. Anyway it could make a great arbitrage opportunity so why you don't just take it?

I didn't "just take it" because

1.  I'm new to all this...about "3 weeks old"😀.
2.  I noticed it was a Asian market and in my 3 weeks I've read that many non-Asian country account holders seem to have problems with their transactions.  Especially those transactions that are in their favor.
3. Refer back to #1

Thanks for you reply though!
