I know exactly what you are talking about Mick, and I reckon I know what retailers you're talking about even without mentioning them.
I've been seeing it for years now, why does a price vary so much for the same item between retailers????? Do an experiment and have a look for the same product at various retailers online and see how much the price varies. This is not just for one particular item but for many items. The retailers that are way off compared to the others regarding price simply will not get the business. A few dollars, maybe even 20 or 30 dollars difference is fine, but 146 dollars difference is just stupid for an item of that price, and you would be stupid to pay that extra amount.
It's the same in all industries, just shop around. If you can't find a particular item for the right price in Aus, buy overseas, that's what I'm doing from now on, the Aus scope shops just don't cut it anymore, especially when the Aus dollar is so strong yet the prices remain the same.
