There are heaps of things one can get much cheaper in the USA - camera lenses, telescopes etc. Problem is, the vendors either say they don't ship overseas, or even if you have a US mailing address, they reject an Australian credit card.
But, as always there are ways around it. If you Google Shop the States, or US Address, you will find heaps of companies that give you a US address to ship to, and they will then forward the item to you. If the vendor doesn't accept your card, they'll buy the item for you and forward it on. Unfortunately, their fees vary, but are higher than they used to be. So it's only worth doing with expensive items.
In years gone by there used to be a group called "Shop the States" who would just charge you $5 plus standard postage for their service. They were great, but are no more.
