Here's my 2 bobs worth

A few Months ago I made enquirers about the cost of shipping for a Meade LX90 8" (second hand) and the postage was between $700 to $950 and that's US dollars using Fedx,US postal was the cheapest then you have to pay import duty,taking that into account and what has been said previous in this thread "Buy Local"
