I haven't bought OS except for niche "odd" items in a long time.

This has been my experience lately also, particularly on an items like digital cameras. The local warranty is also worth having rather than dealing with an online grey market dealer. I can site one camera example where Australia is the cheapest place to buy even cheaper than the USA. Lenses can be the opposite IF you want to risk an OS buy.
As Lewis advises, in all cases do your homework. I trawl eBay, usually find I am disappointed, then google both OS and local suppliers.
