Hay guys it might be the best prices in Brisbane but when you have only 2 shops and the other is well and truely over priced there is not much competition.
Have you compared the prices to south of the border.
Have a look for example .
If you want an EQ6 mount.
$1995 in Brisbane $1300-$1400 in Sydney.
The SSEQ6 used to be on the Brisbane web site at over $3000 (no longer there, wonder why) down south $2400.
A Sky watcher 150eq5 refractor up here $2395 down south $1499.
These are just a few examples guys do your own comparisons.

The other shop in brisbane tried to sell me a second hand Nagler earlier series for about 10% more than a new one new series from south and my Celestron ED 80 for about 80% more than what I got it and they said they had the first ones in OZ.
Funny that got mine 5 months before theres!

I won't mention laser pointer---oops i just mentioned them.

I haven't bought any thing from the Brisbane shops as it has been always cheaper to either get it from down below or import it and I only import if it is a large enough saving .
