Retailers be warned although we are a smaller market don't treat us like fools or we will be doing more buying overseas at your expense.

As demonstrated by the North Chinese APO which people have been importing direct for under $1000 AUD and certain retailers have been trying to sell similar scopes for around $3000
Yeah, but that doesn't mean these retailers are copping two grand profit Trevor. Their landed cost would probably allow them a reasonable margin I'd imagine - otherwise there's not much point them doing it. But if buying from Gilman direct allows such a saving, then we'd also be daft not to take it up. The WO-direct pricing in the other thread ('are these prices for real?') is very very reasonable compared to Aussie retailers. I'd imagine they'll be taking a few sales also.

Cheers
