Yes,
I bought a Chester Creek Tiny Mouse for our grand daughter. It is listed on Amazon for US$17 + shipping, which, based on the books I buy from there, should be about US$15 or so, if we are patient.
However Amazon would not ship it to Oz. That usually means there is an Aust agent with an exclusive agreement with the suppliers.
Sure enough, I can buy it in Oz, from Qld, for A$54 + A$15 postage and handling. Not much difference in absolute terms, but enough to make us go offshore if we can.
That is still buying off the internet I guess, but an indication of the difference I would face at a retail outlet too. I have not much sympathy for the bleatings of Gerry Harvey.
Cheers
