Exports for the Oz company would be a must. Agree to (way!) smaller demand domestically. China has a bigger market yes, but, are they buying their export scopes which are meant for us? NO way.
There will always be a market for the great value china scopes but reckon 50% of the consumers that continue with the hobby want better quality full stop. Not nearly of of these people can switch to spending $$$ on large refractors or fancy (expensive) exotic options.
There is a market it just needs to be commercialised with 'cool looking' simple light tubes, branding, good mirrors; want primo you pay extra
EDIT: not sure about AOE but was it top quality equip? I'd doubt it. I'm talking about not reference qual but genuine good stuff. Most of us have had a GSO at some stage, it's very good but c'mon it's mass mass produced.
