I'm sorry but monopolisation as you call it is not necessarily the fault of the local dealer. If the manufacturer does not want to pay for the local dealer to conduct warranty repairs, some which may take up lengthy times to rectify, how is the dealer going to recoup costs? I support any local dealer who needs to "jack up" costs (as it has been termed) to cover these costs.
It all comes down to a small Australian market. How many Tak/Meade/Celestron/TeleVue dealers do we need in a 20 million population?
I will always support my local guys.
