Is it the dealer or certain wholesalers doing the dirty.
Celestron appears to be the biggest mark up.
eg an 8"edgehd ota from OPt $1300 cheapest here $3000
I didn't think there were duties on Astronomical products-last time I imported there weren"
Just GST, freight and exchange rate.
So either our $ has taken a dive or frieght is $1000plus.
I am sure OPT make a nice profit even at $1300 sell.
I have nothing aginst making an honest profit but don't understand how some Astronomical products are closer to the US and other just ????????
