I have purchased a great deal of items from the USA for my scope setup. I have saved S__t loads compared to purchasing from local sellers. Living in Adelaide does not give me a great deal of choice and supporting my local dealer is not a thing I want to do. Apart from one, all the others here should just close down and not bother. For items that are more complex I tend to buy local so I have the backup if thier is a fault. My local purchase point is Bintel and Andrews, as they give second to none service and advice. A great deal can be save however at the moment and it's a good time to take advantage of it. It has not always been this way so we have paid too much for a number of years, so now we get some back. I just puchased some ADM mounts and got them for 1/3 of the price they are here, and that included Del to my door. I do like the idea of supporting local dealers, but my money is short too and difficult to get. If I knew that when they were doing well they would help me out that would seem fair, but that very rarely seems to be the case does it? We still seem to get charge over the top prices..

GO FOR IT!
