On what do you base this? I reiterate, the eyepieces were going for less than what they cost at OPT. When you add in shipping and exchange rate they were around 100 AUD less than OPT, a fantastic bargain.

Actually the until-recent prices were almost exactly the same as OPT's factoring in the exchange rate at around 95 cents. USPS shipping for a single eyepiece is about $20, Bintel would buy in much larger volumes and have lower shipping costs so that's not going to be a major difference.
The main difference I suspect is that Bintel's prices have to include 10% extra for GST while OPT's do not include California's 7% sales tax.
