Also note the increase in prices on the chinese vendor sites now. A tripod I could have bought for $40 two months ago is no $80 across the board. This is in US dollars, so the AU dollar increase is not the reason. Just that they are finding we will pay for it if it's a bit cheaper.
This will eventually work out better for local businesses, and harder for the buyer.

I don't want to sound racist but what you said is true. Buying Chinese is a huge waste of money.
