As much as I like to support local retailers, anyone who operates like that does not deserve my business. And I know what you're saying is true, because there are Melbourne dealers asking 50+% more for Meade EPs than Bintel does (and I'm sure Bintel do make a healthy profit).

Either they are thinking they are the only game in town so they can charge whatever they want, or they themselves are being ripped off by their supplier. But whether they're profiteering or not doing their homework, it's not good enough.
