Yes Jeremy, we have always been "ripped off" here as regards pricing (of almost anything). Some time ago I bought a reloading press with a few extra parts, not only couldn't I find anyone here who had one in stock but they didn't carry all the spares I wanted. I bought it from the US, and even with the poor conversion rate and shipping it was still cheaper than prices here!
Another "example" - we have a world-class gunpowder manufacturer here, but not all of their products are sold here, whereas they are in the US, and to rub salt into the wound the US prices are cheaper than here (and that is after shipping costs)!!!!
Arguably, the best thing that has happened to us here is the advent of the internet and ebay.
