I rather resent best price guaratees, because it allows a company to be selectively competetive and only compete when they're sprung. I think it's rather hitting the retailer who does his/her best to be competetive below the belt. There is a well known hardware chain that has this practice, and down go all the competition. Now there are few to turn to to get a best price!!
Recently I was looking for a C11 , but after seeing OzScopes price for one on a German Equatorial I was offended and went shopping overseas. Had I known about Andrews Communication at the time I would more likely have done my shopping in Australia. I don't think retailer going for the maximum "rip off" do anything for the Australian retail industry or the hobby they supposedly support!
