Hi Mic_m,

I admit its only my opinion that Meade scopes in Aus would be sourced from the US. For instance, I believe GSO make the lightbridge, but I find it hard to believe they would be sending Meade scopes direct from the GSO factory unless it goes through the Meade sales rep or some other Meade pathway. And by going through these people you would incur additional cost.

Its clear that GSO and Skywatcher scopes are at a good price here from most vendors. So why would these same vendors decide to hike the price of Meade for no reason? I'm happy to trust that there must be higher costs for meade gear. Maybe I'm naive...
