How they can justify putting a RRP like what is currently in the market place defies "good" business-sense and customer goodwill and it would only be to their ultimate detriment and also to Celestron's market share as a consequence

Need more be said??

Now that Celestron has confirmed that it is the local Oz distributor that puts its own mark-ups and RRP pricings for the products - that has proven what I had suspected all along!

Like I said before in another post, if any one purchases a Celestron at such ridiculous price levels than one must indeed be moon-drunk!!
