I bought my C11 OTA from a US shop when they has a special price. I had it sent to a US address which is an on freight company. They then sent it to me here in Oz. even with the GST and customs fees, I was $1500 better of than the cheapest Aust price( with the exception of the WA shop mentioned in another thread that is very unreliable ?fraudulent).
For an item like an OTA I was willing to risk the warrantee as I could almost buy a second scope for the price difference. It depends on the risk of the item being faulty. Electronics worry me more and I would probably be more likely to buy local for more risky items.
