[taxman (Matt)]

I have been cursing my accountant for the delay in my tax cheque, but now it looks like I owe her a bottle of wine.

telescopes.com have just put the Vixen ED80Sf with portamount and two eyepieces on special for $564US! With shipping, this brings the total up to around $885 AUD, less than the $1000 limit to stay GST free.

It's hard to tell, but there might be a $50 brokerage fee also - website customer service says there is, but their shipper (FedEx) says there isn't.

Compared to the cheapest Australian retailer (that I could find), this is a saving of nearly $500 including shipping.

Eagerly awaiting the next 3-5 business days...
