I've had some nit-picks with a few dealers, but there aren't any really bad ones in Oz that I'm aware of.

I'd like to go to star parties, but i dont have the time. This forum is the only interaction i have with the astronomy community and who knows maybe i am not unique
I am not a sleuth, i dont judge people or organisations on what people dont say about them, usually i like to read all opinions and make my judgement, hopefully a balanced one on the good and sometimes bad things that may be said. I rely on the pleuralist nature of this country to be able to read a wide range of opinions on just about anything; including vendors. This policy makes that difficult.
