That's news to me, I've bought all my tak stuff off shore without issue.

I guess if you have a hi sales volumes you can buy/sell stuff cheaper. I see computer shops here selling stuff cheaper retail than I can get it wholesale cos of the volume they buy/sell. I read in here a while ago that someone went to OPT in the US and new scopes where walking out the door every 5 minutes. That's the shop not the online sales. If you don't like the prices shop elsewhere. If you do want a cheap scope check out the 4sale forum, I know of a 10" dob going cheap
