I can understand scopes coming from overseas being nearly double. The size of them would incur huge shipping costs. But binoculars being double... Someone is making big profits.
Have you also noticed that the binoculars with magnifications and apertures most sort after by astronomers can often be a lot more expensive.
When I got my binoculars the Nikon 10x50's where nearly twice the price of the 20x50's with the same optics same manufacturing process, everything. At the time I couldn't work it out, knowing very little I went with the 20x50's, something I now regret. I ended up having to buy a tripod to get the best use out of them.
