Never been able to understand the claim that collection costs would outweigh revenue. Prior to GST you took a chance on whether the goods would get past the post office without import taxes. I recall in 1993 I ordered a 2" prism diagonal from University Optics. The value stated was $360. (yes, astro gear was expensive back then) Before I could collect it I had to fork out $80 to cover the 22% sales tax in place at that time. You lot don't know how good you have had it for the last few years.
