It is appalling that this website is up and running still selling quality telescopes (apparently), I only just came across it today ! It is a very slick looking site, touting it's all Australian ownership:"AustraliaTelescopes.com.au is a 100% owned and operated Australian company based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth and operates under ABN 81 837 848 243. All our employees are Australian citizens, we only sell Australian distributed and warrantied products (not grey-market products unlike other stores) and we intend to honour our store name."
I can understand the concerns of people new to the hobby, as some of the scopes listed here, are scopes I would happily recommend to people coming into the hobby. It shows the value in supporting the Astronomy Retailers that you know will support you.
