Well I have just bought from O/S for two reasons. One it was cheaper than an almost equivalent product and 2) the product had added utility that the home grown product didn't . The items were from ADM and the AUD is high at the moment but the unique design of the dual Vixen/losmandy plate from ADM won me over. Ill usually buy from a supplier if the price and service are right. One item I'm ecstatic with is my Moonlight focuser. Great service and great price - the product was not able to be matched in either area by local suppier at the time. However I have bought from local suppliers for other products and found Bintel, Myastroshop and Andrews to be really great for various reasons. But prices in AUS are still not really reflecting the rise in AUD. The prices quickly go up when AUD falls althought their stock must have been purchased at a lower relative price - but not the converse. Hence my original complaint.
