Yes I see these points, but it doesn't get over that I can get a certain scope for $2600 us then there is freight $400 ins incl. customs duty and gst $420 demurrage and aust freight $120 $3440 (for the purpose of the exercise all in $US) currency conversion $3886.04 aust. So a Aust selling price for the same scope of $6600-$7000 is an outrageous mark up about 60%. Most retailers work on 30=40% and the supermarkets 2%, so is it any wonder that the astro shops seem empty every time we go in there's only need for a couple of customers a day! Even if things went wrong with it, and there would be no guarantee on the fault, I would still be on top or even.
