I'm just about to buy the Celestron C6-SGT 6"
in Australia it costs me $2199 AUD from a major dealer.
If I order it from the US it is $1537 AUD with shipping.
I'm all about supporting Australian companies but not making $700 donations of money.
Is ordering from the US fine?
are there any stories not to?

Mark, You'll probably find that no US dealer will sell you a Celestron scope. They are bound by agreements with Celestron not to sell outside of the US.
BUT, there are ways around that.
If you do choose to take a "side path" you'll find that you will forego your warranty.
I'm looking into getting a new CGE1400. Which, buying from the US (via a legal side path), paying all the legitimate costs & charges I'll land it in Melbourne for aprox AU$3000 less than buying it retail here.
