This one tops the cake in my book:
In the USA a Meade 12” LX90-ACF is US$3300 (AUD$3791)
In the USA a Celestron CPC 1100 XLT is US$2800 (AUD$3220). That is, in the US the Celestron is US$500 cheaper.
And when the scopes land is Australia: The Meade 12” LX90-ACF is AUD$5200 and the Celestron CPC 1100 XLT is AUD$6999. That is, the Celestron is now AUD$1800 more expensive. How the ********&%#@ does that happen?
Is there any reason why we cant form an IIS purchasing group. Every 6 months or so we put in our international orders shipped over in one consignment. I bet the Australian suppliers would start doing something about their prices quick smart.
