You're not finding the best deals in Australia. You need to do more homework.
CGEM 800 (I assume the HD version) for
$3480, BTOW.
Couldn't be bothered looking for the rest...but suffice to say Homework gents.
Oh a CGEM 800 (non edge HD version) for
$2999 from OZ scopes.
I know what you are saying and I have purchased plenty from OS but there are traps for the uninitiated. I remember a gent last year buying OS ...was advised not to but he went ahead...it all went bad he paid top dollars and ended up with junk.
OS suppliers are not supposed to sell scopes like Celestron & Meade to OS customers, although they can sell floor stock and opened boxes. These do come up occasionally.
Shipping from USA can be very high you need to use a good shipping company, add GST, insurance and customs handling fee's by companies like DHL, UPS.
Buying from OS...do your homework as well. Finally I must say prices have dropped in Australia and some Australian suppliers are almost decent ATM.
