There seem to be some massive savings over there.

eg. the Celestron CGE-1100:

US, Starizona $4424

Australia, Andrews $8799

Last I heard they actually strictly prohibit it, and any dealer who they catch doing it is blackballed by them, all it takes is for a local dealer to catch wind of sale and to make an allegation and it can result a lot of trouble .

Meade, and Tele Vue also engage in similar anticompedative behaviour.
