Ditto.
Supply and demand very much applies. You cannot get a new FSQ106 from
Takahashi under 12 months at present. Anything AP have even longer wait times.
Most ROC manufactured stuff is in plentiful supply, hence the price hit when you try to sell on the used market.
The Oz Astro market is also miniscule compared to the USA, Europe or Japan so the response here can be sadly disappointing.
