Think you guys got it bad, try $28,800 NZD for a 16inch meade LX200r OTA. Consider they retail in the US for $10,000, it like WTF...
Do the math in NZD.
$2,600, Flights to LA for 2 return.
$14,000, OTA less sales tax (order going out of state)
$7,000, 2 week holiday with my wife tripping around the USA
$900, OTA to NZ, including insurance
$2,500 GST on import
16inch OTA costs $17,500 and for $29k we get a nice holiday. Frankly the agent here are a ripoff.
If broken in transit, DHL or however replace it. If broken by me, my insurance replace it via the NZ Agent.
So personally, I think Lee is doing us all a favour and the agency stuff is a load of cr....
