I'm checking many online shops and as well as you I concluded ozScope displayed prices are the highest in Australia.

Moreover, I never got the message, visiting their pages, that they would be available to match the average prices one can find elsewhere.

I'm pleased to hear they are available to match prices offered by other business who get supplied by the official distributor, but as highlighted previously, I feel uncomfortable with this marketing approach.

It doesn't give me any reasons to waste my time in contacting them for finding a deal, because I perceive their pretended discounted prices, against unrealistic RRPs, a wrong customer service. As suggested previously by another member of this forum, the advantage here belongs only to OzScope, which I assume very unlikely will suggest to their unaware customers prices lower than those published on their website.

I'm new to this hobby, but I'm sure that as well as all hobby driven markets, core customers tend to spend quite a bit and not just at Christmas and most importantly tend to buy from business they can trust, even if it will not be the best price.

So, till they will not apply a more transparent pricing policing, which I can trust, I will not only avoiding shopping from them, but if asked for, I will suggest to look elsewhere.

My 2 cents
