I just bought a Celestron product from a US authorized dealer the other day. It was about 1/3 of the "discounted" price here.

Why do prices go up so much here??? I mean, it is not a difference of 20%. It is a difference of about 300%.

PS: The gave me a 30-day "personal" warranty. If you buy a Celestron item from the US, the warranty is void because it is only valid in the USA and in Canada, but it is just a filter, so if it is fine when it arrives and I handle it with care I hope it will be fine also in the future.
