I am not an importer, but i would think keep prices lower would create more of a market. Instead of using the reason that Australia is too small a market. They should consider perhaps it is the higer prices that makes it a smaller market. A range of Nexstar SE starting from say 500$ to 1200$ (as they re in the US) would be create plenty of interest. From Schools to parents wanting to give there kids some alternative to all the other "entertainement" options.
If you make it unafordable then you only have yourself to blame for a low volume market. Its a catch 22. We dont have enough customers, we should not buy to many, we have to make it really expensive to cover costs and make a nice profit, no body wants to buy them, we dont have enough customers............
Also if they are comming direct from China, consider how much of our Large appliances and electronics also come from there. But you dont see a 2-4x price diffrence (excluding the currency conversion factors) between a Fridge or big TV sold in Aus and in the US.
