I don't know anything about the seller but that's both items for close to your original budget for a 130mm alone.

Shipping to Oz would be around $900 and there would be GST of around $1400. Then there is the buy exchange rate so
you'd lose about 4% on top of whatever the dollar is at the time which at the moment is close to parity.

So all up mount and TOA150 would be about AUD$15,000 for what is about AUD$24,000+ new (depends on what accessories he is including).

It may be worth a little holiday in the US eh?

Greg.
Yep if the budget can go out to $15K odd, I'd recommend having a close look at this one! The NJP is a killer mount and could carry two TOA's 150's at once Robins Astromart rating speaks volumes too.
